14,000 in attendance.

NASL preseason record.

And most likely barring horrible weather will set the NASL regular season record with their opener.

How? Thought the capacity at the baseball ground for soccer is 8500...NASL record attendance for a regular season game is 660 more than tonight's game..

Yeah, they're at the Baseball Grounds from here on, and that doesn't even hold this amount of people unless they're planning on adding seats or something.

But awesome, awesome news nonetheless.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Unless there was a massive blitz of season ticket sales tonight, in which they sold every open seat, they aint adding any with the season kicking off in less than 3 weeks.

In other news, to make myself feel better about the tragedy that occurred this morning...

After checking out some soccer boards, many of our NASL brethren are worried about playing us after the showing yesterday...

the attendance was actually really good for a minor league soccer team.

The first regular season game will be played at Everbank as the Baseball Grounds will not be available as the Marlins are playing the Suns there.  All games after that will be played at the Baseball Grounds. So they most likely will set the regular season record.

they can definitely hold both events the same day at different locations.  But they aren't going to transform the field (and add/remove stands) from one to the other in  just a few hours.

Yeah, simply not possible.

The field conversion itself takes 10-12 hours, and includes removing the pitcher's mound and covering the baseball field with turf.

That first game at Everbank on 4/4 should be a great crowd

The Armada match was amazing, if you missed the first 15 minuets you missed the most exciting portions of the match. We beats a MLS team 3-1 and had great attendance numbers so I think were off to a great starts. I really wish there had been a program with player profiles though... I wanted to know more about number 10, he was on fire.

Once the Armada move over to the Baseball Grounds (with soccer capacity of ~9,000), I have a feeling that demand for tickets might actually outstrip supply. It's rare to see genuinely hot tickets in Jacksonville, particularly for sports, but you can really feel the buzz growing for the Armada. 14k for a preseason game is pretty epic.

Seriously, how awesome of a sports day is 4/4 going to be.

Suns/Marlins in the early afternoon, Armada home opener in the evening.
