Again it all goes back to the the fact that they DGAF about soccer. If the island was a cash flooded oasis with tons of people with tons of discretionary income they may have gone to the game, or if they loved they game they would have been there. They don't have either of those things.

I've twice previously acknowledged that was a good point by you, we got sideways when you contended that economy was a factor, it wasn't just like it isn't anywhere else in Latin America.
Now waaay back to my original point of surprise; I'm well aware that soccer in the PR is not something that is seen as a big deal, I've been watching North American soccer for over 30 years. My surprise over the attendance was that I was under the impression that the USSF and the PRFF had worked this deal where it would have actually been mutually beneficial and an idea of a decent gate would have been a (the) factor. Soccer in PR isn't a big deal but the United States competing down there, in such a high profile sport, is.
If the PRFF didn't make any money off of the deal, and It's clear that they didn't, they should have played this game in Boca Raton or someplace somewhere else with in America with lots of Puerto Ricans that would have been happy to see their native country (territory) play. I also thought that there would have been a shitton of American fans there, cheap, easy travel, destination location, but there were none at all.
