Even if they don’t have fans in Miniero in the three games they have left as a home team (Itaano, Guarani and CSA), the heavenly team will have the best average in the historical series.
Against Vasco, in the duel that secured Cruzeiro in Serie A in 2023, there were 59,204 people at the Gigante de Pamplona – a stadium record in 2022. This is how Raposa reached a total audience of 640,033 in Serie B.
Cruzeiro’s current average crowd is 40,002 fans per game. In the event that there are no fans in the next three games – which will happen – the average will be 33,685.
The numbers are already higher than those recorded by Atlético. In 2006, Club Alvingro received 606,518 people in the 19 matches they played in Serie B. The average was 31,922 people per game.
