Orlando City faces Charlotte FC in an MLS Playoff game on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024 (10/27/24) at Inter & Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
Santiago Moreno of the Portland Timbers loses the ball against Djibril Diani of the Charlotte FC during the first half at Bank of America Stadium on May 4, 2024, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Two matches exceeded 70,000 fans and five matches exceeded 50,000. In an April match at Arrowhead Stadium, there were 72,610 on hand to watchThe average was a league-record 23,234 per match. Ten teams set or exceeded attendance records and there were a record 213 sellouts. Even if Messi’s road matches were excluded, the average attendance figures would still be an MLS best.
There’s no doubt the league’s superstar attraction is Messi, the clear front-runner for the league’s MVP award this season. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has 20 goals and 10 assists in just 19 matches this season. Inter Miami won the Supporters Shield for having the best record in the regular season with 74 points, one more than New England when it set the record in 2021.
But while Messi is certainly a big part of the league’s growth after his arrival at Inter Miami last year, McGowan cited other factors as well, including the fan experience at the league’s stadiums, spurred by enthusiastic supporters’ groups.
