Truthfully, its not that big of a spectator sport here in Canada either, though more people play soccer than hockey or basketball!!
Amazingly enough, the ratings were announced today, and rivalled and even beat most of the best World Cup ratings!! The stadium of just under 60,000 was sold out, and the crowd on hand (just under 49,000) was the largest ever for a soccer game in Canada at ANY level
Remember that we don't have huge 80-100,000 seat stadiums here anywhere either. Just thought that I would share.
