Info

 * Sport Attendance figures for different countries.
 * At the moment, data very incomplete
 * Also see Sports attendances


 * In Leagues, there are not "rounds" as such, one team may have played ten games when another team in the same league has played only eight.


 * For statistical purposes, A round of games is the total of every team in the league playing one match each.


 * "Total attendance per round" is calculated by multiplying the average attendance by the number of matches per round (half the number of teams in that league).


 * "Popularity" is calculated by taking the Total attendance per round and dividing it by the Population of the country; i.e, it represents the percentage of the country that has attended a match, during a round of matches in that league, Assuming people on the whole don't watch two different matches within one round of games (as is very unusual)


 * Number of Rounds does not include playoff games. In most leagues, each team plays each other twice, once at home and once away.
