• Ottawa Fury has been quietly climbing up the attendance rankings after a slow start to their inaugural USL season due to some unfortunate weather and a deep Ottawa Senators Stanley Cup run. Fury FC put up 6,763 in a battle with TFC2 on Saturday
• RGV posted 6,112 on a Wednesday matchup against Real Monarchs.
• Tampa Bay Rowdies posted 5,737 in the second game of a 3 match homestand against Pittsburgh.
• Colorado Springs Switchbacks topped 4k for the second time in the last four matches, as warmer weather has helped their support numbers rise.
