That being said, the NFL out-grossed MLB by about $2 billion dollars: http://money.cnn.com/2013/02/01/news/companies/nfl-money-super-bowl/<br /><br />You are absolutely correct about total attendance. MLB outdraws everybody due to the large volume of games played. My wording in the article was incorrect on this point - I should have said "average" attendance per game and cited those numbers, but I cited the total attendance numbers while thinking average attendance in my head. By that measure (average per game) the NFL is #1: http://www.sportingintelligence.com/finance-biz/business-intelligence/global-attendances/<br /><br />However, given the wording of the article, you are correct on point #2 - MLB is king when it comes to attendance. Thanks for pointing this out! :-)dezert1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01201701558271990438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566036031670722613.post-19073615285465451312014-02-04T09:48:09.507-08:002014-02-04T09:48:09.507-08:00I'm surprised you've forgotten about the #...I'm surprised you've forgotten about the #1 sport in the United States.

Nice going on ...Hey there Patrick...Welcome back. Nice going on stats...but "sacked" on the Broncos. Given the defensive power of the Seahawks pumped higher by the hyped-up focus on the legendary P. Manning by sport commentary, fired-up the Seahawks to win. The psychological rush fueled by the hype gave them the edge and why I picked them to win (but not to dominate). <br /><br />That's my take from a social science perspective. No stats. :) Sgt.
