First of all, it is completely meaningless to post a bunch of empirical figures without citing the source of those figures, so we may judge their credibility. Secondly, just because something is on the Internet does not make it true. And thirdly, official attendance figures come directly from the franchises themselves or the league, both of whom obviously have an invested interest in inflating attendance numbers. This happens all the time, in many different leagues, as anyone with two eyes who attends or watches struggling teams knows for himself.
The visual evidence speaks for itself. But who are you going to believe, the league or your lying eyes?
