Factoids: Freddy's Impact So Far
Posted on Thursday, June 10 @ 18:31:46 EDT by rhi |

What's Freddy Adu doing to help the MLS become a major North American sports
brand? So far, not much on the field but a bit more at the gate.
In a tight Eastern Conference race, DC United with a record of 3-5-3, sits 4
points behind Chicago. Freddy has scored 2 goals and has 1 assist. Neither goal
has helped give DC United a win.

When Freddy Comes To Town
Two things happen when Freddy visits. Attendance goes up and his team doesn't win.
Unfortunately for MLS attendance, fan support is not sustained. There is no carryover to the next home game. Interestingly, while DC
United leads the league in road attendance, DC United home attendance has
dropped with each home game.
DC United's performance has been less than spectacular. All United has to
show in 6 games on the road is 1 win, 3 losses, and 2 ties. That's a feeble 16.6
win percentage.
Freddy has kept MLS fans happy. They've seen wonderboy now and except for one game, DC United hasn't beaten them. It will be interesting to see if Freddy's second
visit will fill up seats again.
