Major League Soccer attendance

Major League Soccer (MLS) is a professional sports league in the United States and Canada where teams from different cities compete against each other in soccer games. Just like when you go to watch a game with your family and friends, many people also go to watch the MLS games, and this is called attendance.

Attendance is the number of people who show up to watch the games in the soccer stadiums. The more people who show up to watch the game, the higher the attendance will be. Just like you have a favorite team, other people also have their favorite teams and they like to go to the games to support them.

To get more people to come to the games, MLS teams try to make the game fun and exciting for everyone. They have music, dancers, food, and many other things that make it a fun experience for people of all ages.

Sometimes, the attendance at MLS games can be affected by other things like the weather, how good the team is doing, and how far the stadium is from where people live. When it's too cold or too hot, people may not want to come to the game. And if the team is not doing well, people may not want to pay for tickets to watch the game.

Overall, MLS teams always want to have more people come to the games because it's really fun to watch the game with a lot of people cheering together!
