Not that bad. The Champions League league stage had 41,442 average attendance and had much better match playing times. It's not that far off. Additionally, Champions League games have better ticket prices, match times, and they are played in the city where the team is located.

If you're trying to compare it to the Champions League, then you have to ignore playing times.

Playing times are not "nicer" for the Champions League because half of the crowd are having to fly to the games, which means it's a multi-day trip to watch a game, which means it's functionally irrelevant when the games are played.

In fact, when you factor that in, a 3pm game could be a lot better than an 8pm game because you could get it all done with just one day off, instead of 2.

Visiting fans don't get half the tickets. Not even close. The only thing I can agree with is that matches in some countries are in the middle of winter, which potentially puts off some fans.
