I interpreted Leiweke's statement to mean that a specific group of fans known as Red Army had dropped from 800 to 200. I inferred that Red Army is just one of many fan "tribes" the team has and caters to. Red Patch Boys being another, and I assumed there were several of these groups (as well as "unaffiliated" season-ticket holders), but only Red Army had shown such a drop. T-Bone, is that correct?

It was discussed in the TFC thread and it appears Leiweke made a mistake and referred to the Red Patch Boys supporters club (They're not called tribes.) as the Red Army. Apparently it was their paid membership that dropped from 800 to 200 over the past seven years. I'm sure not all 800 of those RPB members had TFC season tickets to begin with and not all 600 that dropped their RPB membership dropped their TFC season tickets. At last count TFC season ticket holders are upwards of 15,000.

Thanks for that additional info. I didn't mean "tribes" as a pejorative, by the way, but apologize if any offence was taken.

No problem and no offence taken, just clarifying. There is a TFC supporters group called Tribal Rhythm Nation.
