2012 Attendance Figures

Sporting KC once again set an attendance record this year for KC.  As a whole, Sporting finished the season 7th in the attendance table, which in percentage terms is probably close to, if not the highest Kansas City has ever finished in the league, averaging 19,404 per game, almost 1,000 over the capacity of Livestrong Sporting Park.  Here's a look at Sporting's finish compared with the other teams in the league.

1	Seattle	43104
2	LA	23136
3	Montreal	22772
4	Houston	20946
5	Portland	20438

16	New England	14002
17	DC	13846

KC finished behind those that you'd expect to finish behind, Seattle, LA, Montreal (multiple games hosted at the Olympic Stadium), Houston, and Portland.  Vancouver's attendance was extremely close to KC.  Sporting did finish ahead of one of the model team's attendance wise up to this season, Toronto, who stumbled greatly down the stretch after yet another poor season for the club.  KC also finished ahead of the league's biggest market, New York.
