Quakes Post Third Highest Attendance in Team History

The San Jose Earthquakes posted one of their best years ever for attendance. The Quakes averaged 13,713 on the season in 2008. That total is the third-highest average attendance in team history. In 1996, the team averaged 17,232, and in 1999, the team averaged 14,959.
