Let's see how the National Lacrosse League is doing in terms of attendance in the regular season over the years, at least as far back as the website goes.
The league missed a million fans this past season, only because Panther City dropped out of the league. The total was 987,080. But the number did go up just a little - it's essentially been flat since the Pandemic; it has not reached eight thousand per game since 2019-20.
