The Bundesliga v. the EPL (and the NFL): Attendance Comparisons
I've written about match day attendance and leagues' financial health before, so I thought it was
interesting to see these figures from the latest report on the Bundesliga's financial situation.
Here's the trend in spectators since the inception of the league in 1963.
While the league's annual attendance ranged between 5 and 7 million per season for almost three
decades throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, we have seen a rapid and sustained increased since
Germany's unification in 1989/90 from about 5 million then to almost 13 million during these last
two years.
