At the moment Germany's Bundesliga has the highest average attendance in the world regarding football (soccer). It is 36.558 but till 2006 some new stadiums will be completed and maybe an average of 40.000+ isn't out of reach. Also depends on which teams relegate and promote.
Germany's stadiums for World Cup 2006:

second column: actual stadium capacities (which are changing as some stadiums are in building or redeveloping phase)
-> in "diagram2" the average attendance of the home team is compared to the actual stadium capacity. That isn't very objective as some capacities were raised during the season thus decreasing the average utilisation of these stadiums. In fact it was just easier for me to set up the diagram this way.
Btw, last weekend an average of 45.687 spectators passed the gates which is a new all time high for Bundesliga! Plus Bundesliga will have the highest average attendance this season world wide and Borussia Dortmund will set a new record for the highest average club attendance world wide ever (BVB (03/04 till now): 78.964 - ac milan (91/92): 77.868 - napoli (84/85): 77.597).
1860 need the money of their one and only sell-out match while FCB take care that every spectator has an unrestricted view.
To my surprise yesterday's Munich derby (FCB home team) had an attendance of 69.000 (source: kicker.de) to 71.000 (fcb.de, bundesliga.de). I'll try to get infos why they sold more than 63.000 tickets and in case it were even 71.000, how that happened.
Thanks!
I have friends who can back this up.
Paying off in terms of bums on seats at least, it seems.
An example: Fox shows a BL game of the week each week in US. Only once have they shown Hannover (w/2 Americans) in past 10 games. It is basically inexcusable that they are not showing Hannover at least 1/2 the time...so simple...(Fox has to accept whatever feed BL/tv partner gives them)
As well, the league is just not as known (players) or respected like England, Italian, Spain. Sure, European success has something to do w/it, but so does marketing...
It is amazing, though, to see the revival in Germany, and yes, they are going to have outstanding attendence leading into WC 2006 (and shortly thereafter)...
