MLS Attendance - Teams Seen By the Largest Percentage of Fans

Earlier this year I had a mad posh to see which teams had been seen by the largest percentage of fans in a given season. It was interesting enough (to me at least) that I've created this post to update at the conclusion of each year.

The 2009 season didn't change the leaderboard in the least bit, which is not too surprising as each additional team makes it progressively harder to reach the top twenty.

Here's the list of teams who had the largest percentage of tickets sold to see them.
