		The United Soccer Leagues form a pyramid structure with their USL First and Second Divisions (USSF second and third divisions), and a de facto fourth division Premier Development League for amateur clubs.

		It would not only exaggerate the “foreign image” that soccer has, but would side step the majority of people who play and pay for soccer in the USAÉthe families in “suburbia.” I remember the Cosmos in 1975 were struggling to gain 25,000 fans a game.

	The Food Groups and the Food Pyramid

		Other pyramid variations are based on diets from regions with historically lower chronic disease rates, such as the Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American pyramids shown here.

	Sounder Central - SEATTLE SOCCER BLOG: The Seattle Soccer Divide
		We have a 'pyramid' of sorts in the world of Seattle soccer, and those that "love the beautiful game" are in the minority here.
		As the pyramid ascends we find the next level, the "Prophets." Prophets are the people who coach, run camps, bring the sport to schools, etc. This group likely does love the sport...but are too busy to watch it live (via the Sounders) on a regular basis.
		If all of the 'pyramid' got together and supported the Seattle Sounders on a regular basis the club would instantly average over 10,000 per match, and MLS investors would be sure to follow.
