3. Penn St. - 104,234

This by far eclipses any pro sport in the world.

Van from a Texan's perspective how can you state that Hockey is more popular than soccer now? FC Dallas has one of the worst attendances in MLS and still pulls in 3k more per game than the Stars. TV ratings for MLS have remained flat while NHL has declined. How popular is the NBA right now?................LOCKOUT

I would point out that all three of those schools are Big 10 schools.

Greg, is soccer popular with Texas because of its demographics?
I can tell you that when I attended the U.S. National Team vs Mexico a few years back in Houston you would have thought we were in Mexico City by the attendance.
