This is a work in progress: attendance figures (as best as can be found) for the second American Soccer League, which began play in 1933 after the collapse of the first ASL and lasted through 1983. The newly added 1983 figures come from official league releases and some local newspaper reports. The figures for 1982 come from the 1983 American Soccer League Media Guide , official league releases, and local newspaper reports. The 1978 figures come from Andy Crossley‘s excellent (and apparently not long for this world) Fun While It Lasted, and there was a math error in those figures. Andy also unearthed (most of) the 1981 figures from an issue of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. The gentleman and scholar Scott Leach contributed the partial 1980 figures through his research of results and lineups. There is a lot of history in this league, but its attendance figures are probably going to be very difficult to find.
