U.S. Pro Sports Compared

The difference between average attendance and revenue generated by each of the five major U.S. sports markets varies more than one would think. For instance the NFL demands a much higher market price for their tickets and thus are the giant of the group when it comes to annual revenue. However annual revenue of the different leagues doesn't directly correlate with how the athletes are paid as you can see below. Probably the most interesting stat to take from the comparison is how the MLS attendance stacks up against the much older and more established leagues.
