Soccer is much more popular worldwide then slow, dull baseball. And it is taking hold in this country too. I bet in 20 years 80 percent of MLB will be made up of just Japanese and Dominicans. Within a couple of generations soccer will be more popular so all the haters should get used to it.

That's the same thing about soccer we heard 30 years ago.
How has attendance for the soccer national championship game grown, on average, in the past 30 years?

I think that you are barking up the wrong tree if you are attempting to disprove soccer's increasing popularity by using collegiate attendance numbers. MLS attendance is up and the league is more popular that it has been. College baseball is popular in the Southeast but it is very regional. Does not have the potential for growth that the sport of soccer does.
