The six WPS franchises averaged 3,518 fans per game this season, down 2.3% from an average of 3,601 last season (eight teams) and down 24.9% from the league's inaugural season in '09 (seven teams). The Western New York Flash -- in their inaugural WPS season -- led all clubs with 4,881 fans per game at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester. The Flash got a huge boost at the gate with a league-record crowd of 15,404 on July 20 for a match against the magicJack. It was the first game following the FIFA Women's World Cup to feature many of the U.S. National Team players. The Boston Breakers and Atlanta Beat were also beneficiaries of games that posted strong attendance figures following the World Cup. Sky Blue FC saw the sharpest drop at the gate among WPS clubs, down 35.6% at Yurcak Field at Rutgers Univ. The magicJack averaged a league-low 2,033 fans per game in their first season in Boca Raton. The franchise averaged 3,825 fans per game last season while playing in DC as the Washington Freedom. Listed below is team-by-team attendance for the WPS over the league's first three seasons (THE DAILY).
