Chart: MLU vs AUDL Championship Attendance 2016

The (semi-)pro ultimate league 2016 seasons are now over.  Major League Ultimate hosted their final game in July in Philadelphia, which featured Portland Stags versus hometown team Philadelphia Spinners. Madison just hosted the American Ultimate Disc League's championship weekend with Saturday's semifinals - Toronto Rush v Dallas Roughnecks; Seattle Cascades v Madison Radicals - and Sunday's final  - Cascades v Roughnecks.

Unable to attend either event, I relied on other sources reporting attendance numbers at each game. Initial comparison was focused on each league's championship game. Below is a chart for comparison sake of MLU's 1 final game and AUDL's 3 championship weekend games.

NOTE: AUDL #s do exclude "staff," of which there were "200+"

Today's official attendance: 1449.
