CNN —More than 11 million fans have attended Major League Soccer matches this year, breaking the regular season attendance record.
With 16 games still remaining before the start of the MLS Cup playoffs, the total has already surpassed the previous record of 10,900,804 set in 2023.
At just over 17,000, the average crowd for Inter Miami games, home and away, was the second smallest in the league in 2022.
Luis Suárez, Messi’s former teammate at Barcelona, was reunited with the Argentine this year and helped Inter Miami to its first ever Supporters’ Shield in early October.
The Herons are favorites to take the MLS Cup, with the playoffs beginning later this month.
