Wright suggested that those attendance figures, plus the talent and storylines Scottish football has to offer, should attract a more lucrative TV deal when compared with Norway.
The Premiership attracted huge interest last term as a gripping title fight went down to a final-day decider between eventual champions Celtic and Hearts.
"Norway have managed to get a broadcast deal that was £25m a year more than Scotland's," Wright said on ITV.
The SPFL committed to a £150m broadcast deal in 2022, which started in 2024 and runs until 2029. Premiership clubs earn about £30m a season from the current agreement.
The aim is for Scottish top-flight clubs to be earning £50m a year by 2029.
That is already happening in Norway, according to Norwegian media, which report that the current domestic rights package in the country is worth more than £50m per season. From 2029 it is reported to rise to more than £60m.
So how does that impact the national team? More revenue for clubs would provide additional money to improve infrastructure, facilities and academies across the country.
And at a time when Scottish sides are continually losing youth talent to clubs with greater resources - often south of the border - more cash should, in theory, mean bigger playing budgets to encourage talent to stay.
There would still have to be a clear path to first-team football, however - something Scottish clubs have been encouraged to improve significantly following a Scottish FA report that detailed how clubs in Scotland are failing to bring through enough young players.
Despite a recent return to major tournaments, Wright sympathises with Scotland and their fans after a generation of missed opportunities.
And judging by the social media reaction to his passionate comments, which came before Scotland had even kicked off their final group game against Brazil, he does not seem to be the only one.
