The attendance for teams like Stockton, Bakersfield and Colorado are over the league average, and topped a good number of AHL teams last season.

During the 2002-2003 season, attendance at national Hockey League games topped 20 million.

Total attendance at the Show now tops 100,000 manufacturers, buyers and other industry representatives, making contacts and doing business.

This year, Schwartz believes attendance may top a million for the first time.

These days, attendance typically tops 100, Ms. Little said.

Sinatra said on-track attendance could top 18,000 that day.

Despite the move, attendance rarely topped 3,000 a game.

In the 1960s the attendance at the Dragon sometimes topped 3,000 riders, more recently the figure ranges from 1,500 to 2,000 depending on the weather and location.

Since 1999, annual attendance has consistently topped 100,000.

In any event, it is more popular than ever: attendance topped 300,000 last year for the first time, and that mark will easily be broken this year, said Bill Guilfoile, the hall's associate director.
