April 9, 200422 yr it's not like many people go to church anywayz...sadly Jack will be there. :notworthy
April 9, 200422 yr Guys remember the Marlins will compete with the Heat for attendance because the Heat will be in the playoffs. A sold out AAA and 17-18k for the Marlins is excellent progress for the Marlins on weekdays. No less than 25k on the weekends though. Also it is Easter weekend and alot of people are in church and stuff. Yeah, LeBron is in town and the thought of that almost dragged me away from the ballpark tonight. almost . . .
April 9, 200422 yr There should still be 25,000+ today maybe more. The heat sold out its first game today against cleveland but that shouldnt affect the marlins too much. I think the absolute most we get today is 30,000 but probably closer to 25
April 9, 200422 yr One thing i thought about is if we start winning and show south fla that we can win again, will the attendence still go down from what weve seen(18k on a thursday vs MON) or is it just because of all the unthusiasm because its the beginning of the season.

April 9, 200422 yr Actually the heat probably doesnt have to do much with the attendance. If you guys remember we didnt do to well attendance wise last year. So you cant expect us to do great every night. In fact 17 and 18k for wens and thurs is actually pretty good. Alot of teams do alot worse than that for weekday april and may games. Pitt got 9,000 yesterday and alot of teams have gotten 12k ad 13k. Remeber we dont have a gigantic fan base like some of the other teams that get 30,000 every night. As long as we do good attendance will be fine. If we can average 25,000 for the season we would probably beat out alot of teams
April 9, 200422 yr I do believe the Heat have alot to do with attendance. Alot of people are at Heat games now, and some of them would surely be at Marlins games if not for the fact that the Heat were in the hunt for the 4 seed.

April 10, 200422 yr the heat had 20,000 + today, we beat them by 3,000. Tomorrow there is no heat game for those of you who think they are going to dip into our fan base. Lets hope we get 40,000 tomorrow
