On the other hand, World Cup V last November in NYC had about 20,000 people in attendance over the course of a weekend. It's not just a bunch of nerds with their parents in the crowd, despite what the Internet mockery crowd might want to believe.

Thank you for noticing that. Yeah, the turn out wasn't very high, but that's mainly because the sport isn't as popular in the UK yet, and American spectators couldn't very well fly out to watch due to costs. The matches were live streamed with I think (could be wrong) between 2000 - 4000 viewership despite the fact that it began at 5 am EST.
