This past Saturday saw only 16,904 fans at the Dynamo-ReAL game. Sitting in the stands I would have guessed about 20,000. It was a spirited group at least, and ~17,000 is definitely on the upper end of the MLS-attendance spectrum.
The fans tried to do the wave twice, but it didn’t get more than a few sections along on the west side. In the KC game, with 20K present, the wave made it completely around the stadium 2 times.
The supporters’ group, the Texian Army, kept things lively at the north end. They were able to harass Garlick in the goal throughout the second half. Streamers and jeers were some of the distractions he had to contend with. (And that was the half we scored a brace; coincidence?)
Of course the best part of the night was the victory. We were able to get a close-eye view of the game and my kids were up close to see the players walking back to the locker room after the game. The kids got a big kick out of that.
I think there won’t be any attendance issues at the next home game, when the Texas derby begins and FC Dallas is in town.
