San Mamés attendance steadies, Champions League draws crowds

Attendance at San Mamés this season aligns with last season’s figures. The stadium saw fewer league spectators but attracted large crowds for its four Champions League matches. Three Champions League games drew more than 51,000 fans each. The remaining fixture attracted over 50,000 spectators. Across all home matches, the average attendance is just 65 spectators below the previous campaign’s average. The overall average gap results from combining league and Champions League attendances. Future Champions League home games could sustain the high attendance levels. Maintaining league interest will be essential to keep the overall average close to last season’s numbers.
