Yeah, Right, MLS Attendance Stinks
Yep, you're right, MLS attendance is only up from last year because of Freddy Adu. And next year,
it will only be up because of Chivas. And the year after that, it will only be up because… Well,
just because.
Here are some facts. Average attendance in MLS in 2003 was 14,898.
From First to Worst
Okay, at the moment, they are no longer the worst team in the A-League. But the Charleston Battery
are no longer energized. They have stopped going and going and going.
In a quick look at the history of last year's A-League champs, this club has never finished at the

Colorado's Carrierror?
Looking at some A-League stats for this season, I found a very telling one. Chris Carrieri is tied
for second in the league in assists with 7 in 23 games played.
And Colorado is not very rapid when it comes to scoring this season -- an MLS low of 0.80 goals per
game.
Could it be that no one is passing the ball?
#1 -- Beautiful AND Simple?
I was amazed as I walked the dogs around the park last night during my son's first premier team
practice. There were at least four or five other teams practicing at this park.
Coaches and players running through drills and participating in scrimmages. I even saw a U16 girls
team scrimmaging against a U14 boys team.
