Not surprised. Ive been living in Paris for a couple years now and even though I have so many friends that are huge football fans there isnt a big “going to the stadium” fan base. I’ve talked to friends and other people that have been living in Paris all their life and are fans of PSG and have never been to a game in their life. Even though there are specificities to this like the fact that its super expensive to go watch a game at the Parc des Princes I believe it also has to do with the fact that the culture of going to your team’s game just isnt as big here.
Only one team in Paris means the stadium is full anyway (45 000+). The low attendance come from club with smaller stadium (Reims, Brest), less club history (Clermont) and no supp culture (Monaco).
Clermont has the 3rd highest attendance in %. Reims and Brest despite having small stadium can't get them full.
And that's the main problem of Ligue 1, aside from Paris, absolutely no other clubs are restricted by the size of their stadium, since they can't get fill the one they already got.
While almost every single german clubs have an average above 95%, in France we have only one. Paris.
