XFL Attendance Report: Week 3 breaks week 2’s record with 81,942 fans in attendance

Week 3 in a new league is so important. The XFL had a very positive effect week 1 with 3.3 million viewers on television. The league did see a decline week 2 for television ratings, but you have to remember they were competing with the Daytona 500. When it comes to actual attendance though, the league has been pretty solid.

The XFL actually has noticed an increase in actual attendance.

Let’s look at the attendance from the first two weeks.

Here are week 1 numbers: Grand Total: 69,818 fans 

• St. Louis Battlehawks v. Dallas Renegades – 17,206
• Tampa Bay Vipers v. New York Guardians – 17,634
• Houston Roughnecks v. LA Wildcats– 17,815 
• Seattle Dragons v. DC Defenders – 17,163

Here are the numbers for week 2: Grand Total: 76,285

• New York Guardians v. DC Defenders – 15, 031
• Tampa Bay Vipers v. Seattle Dragons – 29,172
• Dallas Renegades v. LA Wildcats -14,979
• St. Louis Battlehawks v. Houston Renegades – 17,103

Here are week 3’s totals: 81,942

• Dallas Renegades v. Seattle Dragons – 22,060

If the TV Ratings are down big time, it could mean panic, but with the attendance trending upwards it could get better.

Remember this though, March Madness is coming up. Could that take away viewership? This week is super critical, for the league.
