: 4. (Probably "a growth OF interest in the game.") Many people watched sporting events
: on television. As a result, more people went to the actual games or races than had gone to them before they were broadcast. It is not known whether this increase in attendance occurred because seeing sports on TV made people more interested in sports or because people went to sporting events hoping that they themselves, as members of the crowd, would be shown on TV.

Thanks VERY MUCH for your reply! And could explain further, what does "How far" and "due to" mean in "How far this was due to a growth of interest "?
