May 23, 200422 yr 24,308 is the average attendance so far this season at home. should improve by 3 to 5 thousand when all is said and done.
May 23, 200422 yr We should easily draw over 2 million and be near 2.5 million once the year is done. Going from 16,000 to almost 25,000 a night in less than one year is difficult in any city, even if the team won the World Series.
May 23, 200422 yr Must have been a big walk up crowd. The lower bowl was full...including all the club seats. Most of them stayed until the end as well..... :thumbup
May 24, 200422 yr I know the announced attendance was 40K+, but I just didn't see it. My row in sec 149 was kinda empty, and I could still see seats around me. On the other hand, the club section in RF was opened, so that is probably where a lot of that extra attendance was. Either way, it was great to see the Pro have to open the auxilary parking lots. Damn bandwagoners can get in my way anytime
May 24, 200422 yr what team has the highest avg in attendence? What team has the most sellouts? 'Sox. :thumbup
May 24, 200422 yr Author what team has the highest avg in attendence? What team has the most sellouts? 'Sox. :thumbup yea, you guys are a bunch of sellouts :thumbup
May 24, 200422 yr You aren't going to see more sell-outs until the Fish move out of PPS. Huizenga Holdings so controls corporate sales that the Marlins cannot sell directly to any number of potential corporate clients anything from tickets to advertising. HH keeps them as "exclusives". Look at something as small as the advertising on the cupholders on the seats. If you notice they have advertising on them, Office Depot being one of them. Those are sold by the stadium (HH) and the Marlins get nothing from that. Once the Marlins get into their own stadium they will be able to market all facets of their product themselves from ticket sales to advertising and marketing. That alone should put 5-10,000 more fannies in the seats night in and night out. With a 38,000 seat stadium and the power to market themselves properly the Marlins should be able to sell-out or near sell-out every game.
May 25, 200422 yr 30k was already sold even before randy was scheduled to pitch against us..there were more than 11k in groups out there...
May 25, 200422 yr 30k was already sold even before randy was scheduled to pitch against us..there were more than 11k in groups out there... The D-Backs rotation never got messed up due to rain delay or anything so Randy has been scheduled to pitch on that day since the beginning of the season, and in the past week or so ever since his perfect game they have really be hyping that game up at PPS and on TV.
May 25, 200422 yr Accord...it wasn't just his pitching that brought out the number of people...not many knew when he pitched in the first place...ya know how that goes...Lurry would know what I mean when I say that we get the randomest calls daily about game time and stuff like that...it's in the paper people.... this mets series is another one that's going to be pretty interesting...it's selling pretty well...
May 25, 200422 yr Hows this next weekend looking 1 true fan? I know the two biggest games will be sat vs the mets and monday vs the reds because of the rings. The friday and sunday games will be the wild cards
May 25, 200422 yr you'd be surprised....as of earlier today there were no infield box seats left for the series...some might be released later but obviously not many.
May 25, 200422 yr Thats good news then. It would be nice to have a few crowds of 30,000 + this weekend with the mets and reds in town. I better hurry and get my tickets for friday then.
May 25, 200422 yr Well thanks for the tip. I just went online hoping that they would release more tickets and I got sec 149 row 18.
May 25, 200422 yr I doubt there would have been more than 30k if Randy Johnson wasn't pitching. yeah alot of people went because he pitched a perfect game in the game before but there were also a lot of groups that went together....and a lot of teams from baseball leauges...etc. so i think that they still would have had a lot of fans that game because it was a sunday and a lot of people are able to go unlike a game at 1.
