The Economics has important contributions in several areas. The sport is one of the areas which has attracted big attention from the economists (DOBSON E GODDARD, 2001; SOUZA, 2004; MADALOZZO, 2008), due to the growing importance of sport events around the world. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the choice of football’s fans to go to the Brazilian’s stadiums. The research was made through secondary data that allowed; through an econometric model identify those factors. For this, a demand equation was estimated, with attendance as dependent variable. As explanatory variable were used dummies to capture the match’s quality, besides variables as medium price, available in the web site of Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF). A dummy to footballers Lucas Moura, Neymar and Ronaldinho Gaúcho was used as well, with the intention to capture the effects that these footballers have in the demand for matches of Brazilian championship of 2012. The problem of endogeneity of the variable price was already treated. It was found that matches of Brazilian championship are an inferior good, besides the football’s fans are very sensitive to the displacement costs, measured by the proxy relative to the gasoline price.
