MLS averages a lot more than 10K/game. Last season the average was 21,873. Atlanta with their amazing new stadium averaged 53,002. Most MLS stadiums I believe are 20K to 30K but built and designed exclusively for soccer. CalgaryNEXT would have been a perfect facility to try and attract a team. A non-covered stadium would never work b/c the weather here is too unpredictable. We definitely need a new stadium. With a covered facility we could attract a lot more events. Spending a ton of money to put band-aids on McMahon is a huge waste.
