USA set to receive thumping next month..

I was looking up average attendance for sports.  Interestingly, it seems like average attendance for University of Michigan college football games is larger than anything else I see.  They have averaged over 100,000 per game every year since 1976.

There is no longer a waiting list to get UM tickets though.   David Brandon and Brady Hoke have run that program into the ground and thousands of Alumni have given up their Season Tickets.   You could realistically see 20-40,000 less by mid-season if they keep serving up poo-poo platters.

The program was going down hill starting late in Lloyds tenure IMHO, if Hoke dont get the ball rolling soon with these halfway decent recruiting classes hes had I think hell be out the door. Lets see what Nussmeier can do as Off coord. Hes got a stable of running backs just need the oline to contribute.

Remember when he turned down the Alabama job to stay at West Virginia?   lol

The Texas Rangers are nothing even close to the cash cow of the Top 7 or 8 Soccer teams.   Yes, Man U sells more of their jerseys than the Rangers, sells more merchandise, tickets, you name it.  Not to mention higher attendance numbers.   It isn't even open for debate.

Incorrect.   I am a fan of both sports.   My figures are backed by Forbes and MLB.

True but your figures support me.  Baseball plays more games therefore they don't HAVE to have sellout crowds bro.  That was my point.  And I suggest you check your figures.  ManU sold a TON more merchandise than the Texas Rangers. 

Go back and read who I responded to and you'll actually understand my point.  Soccer has to fill stadiums (and they do) because they play so few games compared to baseball.  Nothing you've said disputes that.  Nice misdirect with net worth though.

but expenses are higher in baseball when it comes to the stadium.  they dont illuminate 1/10 of the stadium because only 3k people showed up instead of 30k.  in soccer they dont have the luxury of playing 180 a year because they actually move while most of the baseball players are watching the pitcher throw the ball to the catcher. 

even regulations require that soccer players must rest at least 24 hours between games due to how much running they do.  same reason why football players only play once a week.  in baseball only the pitcher and catcher actually get to play, the others get to chew and spit on the floor.
