I don't know what to compare them with. How's the avarage attendance figures in IPL?

Thanks for the info BTW.

good info redmissile and greatpersian!

It's amazing how top league pro teams can survive with average attendance of few thousand. In case of K-1, the entire league averaged 3000 - 5000 in their early years. It's a miracle that the league survived (actually, the teams were heavily sponsored by big corporate companies and were not truly a pro league).
