11 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Sacramento Republic

2. During The 2014 USL Campaign, Sacramento Broke The Regular Season Record League Attendance

After setting a new USL record of 20,231 for a sell-out crowd in their first ever home match in April 2014 - then played at the Hughes Stadium, before their current ground was completed - they then averaged more than 8,000 fans every game bar one for their matches at Bonney Field. Across the entire campaign, the Republic achieved a total attendance of 182,107 - with the 158,107 supporters through the gates during the regular season a USL record. In fact, that number smashed the previous record attendance of 112,748 achieved by Orlando City SC - proving just how popular a club the Republic are and how "soccer"-mad the city of Sacramento is.
