    Ahhhh. The build it in Boston and they will come crowd has spoken. Pretty good crowds at other venues from what I have seen. Levis Stadium is not downtown.

    Let's face it. BOSTON Soccer fans are not willing to pay real money to watch real soccer. They are also not interested in paying anything to watch crappie soccer (revs). It is a **** soccer town.

    Please save the dedicated soccer stadium bs. A stadium that size cant support a Copa type event anyway. **** soccer town.

      I'm a non wealthy white urban dad who would have loved to take his kids but not at those prices. A lot of professional sports are too expensive for the average Joe, at least to do on a regular basis or take the whole family. I supposed the upside is when watching on tv you can turn down the volume. I probably would have shoved a whistle down a neighbor's throat if he'd been blowing it in my ear all game

        Tough when you have four storied franchises that have had dedicated fans for decades, people who grew up in families who followed the Sox, Pats, Celts or Bruins. Hard to make room for another one, especially the Revs, or for a sport many didn't grow up with/play. Then add cost and location on top of that, along with owners who put no effort into it.

          I wouldn't pay those prices for any sporting event. Any.

            The legalized scalping via ticketmaster, ace tickets, stub hub and the rest of the secondary market pushes the prices well beyond their worth. And it's not just this event, it's across the board.

              On the flip side, people who paid for 300-level seats got free upgrades to the unfilled 100-level section, so there's that.

                    I didn't know that fish played soccer. I'd pay money to see that!

                      That must have made the people already in the 100 section who paid full price happy.

                        Wow. It took longer than I thought for a truly stupid comment to come about.
                        You are actually going to blame the lack of showing on the 'wealthy white community' west of Boston? Why do you think that these folk should be blamed? ..and why do you think that they would want to shell out big money to watch a game that could be essentially over in the first half if one team scores 1 goal?
                        By the way, do you know the makeup of the fans at Gillette? There was a large percentage of minorities.....

                          Funny that they put down grass for this game, but the MLS games get the carpet...

                            Go look at the crowds that Boston City is drawing for an AMATEUR NPSL side. With the right marketing and stadium, Boston is a rich soccer market.

                              sure.
                              170 fans last week when they played the Revs at Malden Catholic. Could hardly breathe.

                                A friendly, scheduled late, on the day the USMNT had a game. Almost 1,000 at other home games.
