NHL: 398,000
MLB: 378,000

Spring football is more popular than the MLS.

Maybe that league won't sputter and disband every few years but I won't hold my breath. There is a reason it is not considered when looking at numbers across the board.
SKC for example played just shy of 40 games across all competitions. The numbers have been just fine and are growing by every metric.
It is even growing in the metric of insecure constantly disappearing football league fans begging soccer fans for validation for some reason.
