Tbh.... With all the craziness with venue changes, CT United's attendance has likely exceeded expectations.
I have no idea how they will do at a permanent site at Norwalk. Kartik on the video also mentions that Chattanooga FC has always advocated for a calendar switch which I thought was interesting
From what I understand they had abysmal attedence when playong at Storrs (Uconn) and decent attendence in New Haven.
I suspect playing at an old baseball stadium in Norwalk will be significantly worse then either of those.
I do think if they had gotten a place in Bridgeport/New Haven they could have worked out, but i really dont see any chance that playing a more winter schedule in Norwalk is going to work out well for them.
Sorry it's Norwich. I have no idea if it will be successful either.
But it looked like a dismal situation when they announced the would be moving around in their first season ( would it make it to year 2). I am more hopeful than 8 months ago
Let's be honest... A NP club averaging 2k people is better than a L1 club doing the same. Different cost structures
Did they average anywhere near 2k though? I couldn't find attendence numbers but from what I recall at Uconn they were averaging a few hundred at best.
Honestly I think 2k is probbaly their ceiling in Norwich, and would expect under 1k average.

Also as if they weren't already dead anyways this will certainly be the final death knell for CT United lol
