That is even without the coronavirus which will make it even tougher to run a pro sportsball team here. And soccer has never had a very big following in the USA.
Boise Steelheads have average 4600/5000 tickets sold.

However soccer is growing and one of the fastest growing sports in the USA with teams planned in Sacramento, Austin, and Seattle. Mind you, those are MLS teams, and both those metros have 1-2 mill population.

Soccer would make a ton of sense and Boise has stats to show support. It makes more sense than a soccer and baseball combined arena. A larger arena just for USL in Meridian or Boise one day fully privately funded would make more sense.
