I saw some of the DC/San Antonio game. Let’s be honest, there may have been 6 thousand in the stands. None of the actual announced attendance is accurate.

I question not only this year, but last year DC attendance figures, Audi only holds what 19000 at the most. I agree with Frank, that stadium is not even a third full. Let us have the turn style figures who actually come in and watch, every time a game is played there its the same seen, third to maybe half full.
