I happened upon an updated attendance chart for MLS. I did one in the past, but this short article highlights the good and bad. I'll need to find the data so I can play around and make my own and add and subtract clubs to see the changes.

So, I found the data. on average, stadiums were at 90% capacity and taking out Chivas it was 93%. The one flaw with this is that some Seattle and Montreal games they expand the stadium to go well above capacity. So, I took Seattle & Montreal out and the percentages changed to 88.7% with Chivas and 91.5% without. Pretty decent, but national TV audiences still suck.
New TV deal next season so well see what happens with viewing figures. I dont really care about them as I prefer people in Stadiums and I have MLS Live for games. On the plus side Houston is moving to the West so I will get to see Colorado next year =)

The West is going to be tough with Seattle, LA, RSL, SKC, Houston, Dallas, Portland, etc. The East should be weaker with two expansion teams and the Chicago Fire...okay, I am a little pessimistic right now.
West will be hard, seeing as Colorado are the new Chivas its going to be near impossible for us to qualify for the playoffs from here on out.
