To form the top two divisions of a promotion/relegation system for the United States, the teams were split based solely on attendance, a good barometer of public interest and quality of club. To make the first division, teams had to average more than 4,700 per game. Sorry, Atlanta, better luck filling the football dome. Attendance and divisions are below.
