The attendance of my last 3 home games was:
Game 1, 4/20/2024 vs Country Rank 5, different conference, 3rd in conference: 18775
Game 2, 4/30/2024 vs Country Rank 2, difference conference, 1st in conference: 16887
Game 3, 5/7/2024 vs Country Rank 6, same conference, 4th in conference: 18215
I lost game 1, but the subsequent game was the Cup Semifinals. I basically won the cup (meaning I won the next two games) then trashed the 8th rank team of the other conference by almost 140 points. But after all that I received a weird dip in Game 2, despite winning the past 3 games.
Anyone able to explain it? Ticket prices were exactly the same. If we look purely at opponent quality, Game 2 should actually draw the biggest crowd. All 3 games were preceded by away league wins, so last game results should not be a factor here.
I just can't believe why despite having such favourable conditions: away win, cup win, no player sales, against the best team I can face in the country (tied first if we look at game record), the attendance dropped so much. Could it be that TV games reduce the number of attendance?
