Their three highest attendances last year were 33772 (Inter), 39087 (Milan), and 56488 (Palermo, the last home match of the season). This in a stadium that holds over 67,000. Most of the time attendance was below 30,000.

Conversely, here are the CL attendance numbers:
  • Rapid Vienna - 49,000
  • Bayern - 19,000 (I can't explain that)
  • Club Brugge - 35,000
  • Werder Bremen - 43,000
  • Arsenal - 50,000

For Milan, most of their Serie A matches played in front of 56,000.

In the CL:
  • Fenerbahce - 75,000
  • PSV Eindhoven - 69,000
  • Schalke 04 - 82,000
  • Bayern - 71,000
  • Lyon - 80,000
  • Barcelona - 85,000

It looks to me like the CL creates more interest than Serie A.
That's really freaky, my source showed totally different attendance figures.
