Gold Cup historical attendance

Wikipedia is wrong. There is bad information that is being spewed and quoted about the Gold Cups attendance. Boggers and other so called football experts are making bad assessments about past Gold Cup’s attendance. Well I spend well over 3 months trying to figure out what the attendance is. You can to if you have time. Go to the CONCACAF.com web site. Go to News and click on the link that says TSG.
         The TSG has the Technical Report from past Gold Cups. The 2009 Gold cup has the past stats for attendance of all the Gold Cups. I got a spread sheet and plug the attendance numbers in. Remember if the game was a double header I DID NOT count the attendance twice. Why because they are the same people in the stands from the first game and the second double header.

My friend who are out there that multiply the average attendance with the number of games are almost doubling that “REAL” attendance figures. It is a simplistic way to make a point but unfortunately “you” are wrong. If you do not believe me just go to the stats of each gold Cup starting on page 56 and continue through page 60. It has all attendance for each group. Please take note when looking at attendance before 2005 there were double headers. These double headers had 2 different groups. So eg in the 2000 Gold Cup Group A and B had double headers. That means 2 teams from group A played and 2 teams from group B played. The attendance for that day is the same. Why….they were the same people and you can not add the same people twice.

Well he are my stats with total attendance and average attendance for the past Gold Cups.
