[QUOTE="Jophish17, post: 509445, member: 843"] 8,000 would have been generous in the late 80s. I love Atlanta United - Soccer was my favorite sport to play growing up, and United is the first professional club I’ve really become a fan of - but I think a lot of this applies to United too. I do believe United has a large “fan of the game” base (certainly more than the Braves pre-1991) but there’s a lot of casual fans there who seem to view it as a social event too. It remains to be seen if that support lasts or if some of the casual fans can be converted to more serious fans. My favorite analogy re: Atlanta united attendance is “Even the Florida Marlins sold more than 3 million tickets in 1993...” [/QUOTE]
