1. NFL

According to official information, the American Professional Football League has had an overall revenue of more than US$13 billion for many years, far ahead of other professional sports leagues in North America.
NFL regular season ticket price (low price area)
NFL regular season ticket price (high price area)
Friends who have experience watching the game on-site know that in the United States, tickets for professional football games have always been "never discounted" . In an ordinary regular season, the ticket price of the sideline auditorium is more than 10,000 yuan; even the fare at the farthest end of the stands with your own telescope is about 100 US dollars! If it is the playoffs or even " Super Bowl ", fans will find it difficult to get tickets, and the ticket prices will soar to an exaggerated level. Such a high price can achieve such an attendance rate, which makes people have to admire the NFL's strong influence in North America.
Before the last "Super Bowl" competition, the ecosystem's special author Ai Bing also came to the competition site to bring you personal experiences as soon as possible. Friends who have not read that report should hurry up and "review" them.
2. Bundesliga
If you want to talk about the German favorite sports, it must be football. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 25,000 football clubs of all sizes in Germany, and an average of less than 20 Germans are engaged in football.
In the Bundesliga, there has always been a famous slogan "Football As It is Meant To Be", which translates to "football should be like this". is different from some leagues that are too focused on commercial effects. For a long time, the Bundesliga has always adhered to its pure football belief - the lowest ticket price and the most complete fan club organization among the five major football leagues in the world, providing fans with the most direct way to participate in football.

Not only that, if you encounter major events (such as the World Cup, Champions League or National Derby, etc.), walking on the road in Germany, you will see big screens playing the game-related content everywhere, and people gather in bars or fast food restaurants to watch the game while discussing their opinions. Each food store will also launch food related to the competition in a very appropriate manner, reflecting the Germans' love for football to the fullest.
According to statistics, in 's 308 games in the 2017-18 season, more than 13 million fans came to watch the game on site, with an average of 44,646 people per game, with an average attendance rate of 91.5%. , and this number is only the average calculation result of the 18 Bundesliga teams. For some giant clubs (such as Bayern, Dortmund, etc.), it has become a normal state for the crowded game.
often hear this sentence among the fans - "If you want to understand football culture, start with the Bundesliga." Last year, Quan Ge also went to the home court of Borussia Mönchengladbach at " Prussian Park Stadium " to experience the madness of German football, and since then I fell in love with the Bundesliga. I wonder if you have the same feelings as Quan Ge after reading that report?
3. Premier League
Premier League is currently the most successful league in business operations in the world. Although it is not the top ranking in UEFA's official ranking, the Premier League is the first in terms of the viewing of the game and the overall number of stars. 's fast pace, high intensity and many suspense factors make the overall attendance rate of the Premier League ranked first among the five world football leagues.

is different from the Bundesliga's practice of lowering ticket prices and attracting fans to watch the game on site. The ticket prices in the Premier League have always remained high, and the average ticket price per game is more than twice as high as the Bundesliga. If there is a major competition, the tickets will be sold out early, and the ticket prices in the second-hand market will be even more speculated to "fly". Even so, fans are willing to spend a high price to cheer for the home team.
is not only the Premier League, but also the second-tier football league in the UK, but also surpassed the top European leagues such as La Liga and Serie A , ranking third in the European league. shows the depth of British football culture.
4. Japanese professional baseball
Japanese professional baseball (NPB) is the only Asian professional sports event among the top ten on this list.

Japan's baseball culture has a long history. As early as the 19th century, an American teacher introduced baseball to Japan through missionary methods. In the context of the times, the Japanese, with awe and admiration for Western civilization, regarded learning baseball as a means to catch up with Western civilization, making the sport rapidly popularized nationwide. Although the popularity and attention of have increased rapidly in Japan in recent years, it still cannot shake the status of baseball as a "national ball" in the hearts of Japanese fans.

In this way, the average attendance rate of the event is only 66.9%, which is a big gap with the average attendance rate of the top four professional sports leagues on the list. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. Even so, MLB is still one of the greatest sporting events in the hearts of the American people.

Although football is the most popular sports in North America, due to the high construction cost and the high requirements for the physical fitness of participants, it is difficult to achieve full participation. Baseball is different. Many states in the United States have regulations that communities with a population of 3,000 must have baseball stadium . In the United States, people view baseball as not just a way of entertainment or fitness, but a culture, a culture closely related to life, and this culture has penetrated into every class.

Its average number of seats per game has not even entered the top ten, mainly due to the number of viewers that can be accommodated in basketball courts. NBA League's 30 teams can accommodate only 19,122 people at home. By this calculation, the average attendance rate of NBA games is as high as 94.1%.
If ranked by per-game attendance, the NBA will rank fifth, before it is Premier League, NFL, MLS (95.7%) and NHL (95.2%).
