Average attendance was impacted by the stadium's capacity

In terms of average attendance, Vasco ranked sixth among the eight Brazilian teams, with an average of 15,672 spectators per game. This number is directly impacted by the capacity of São Januário, which is considerably smaller than the arenas of competitors like Corinthians, Atlético-MG, and Fluminense, who led the ranking. Vasco's largest audience in the tournament was 19,291 people, against Lanús.
