August 8, 200421 yr Author After 53 home games, we have drawn 1,158,182 fans or about 21,852 a game according to ESPN.com
August 8, 200421 yr People down there seem to be really energized by the trades. Anybody notice that? 501533[/snapback] There are hints of 2003 in the air, perhaps it is people becoming just a little more hopeful. People remember how they got hot and ran away with it, and maybe they think they can conjure up that magic again. But, if they fall more than 8 games out of the WC or division race, the crowds will disappear, especially since football, BB and even hockey is rolling around. The Heat expectations are through the roof. Miami-Fsu is a few weeks away, this is still a football town. And if there is an NHL season, the Panthers will be a top 5 team in the Eastern Confrence, they had an A+ offseason. Unless the Marlins make a serious run they will quickly become an afterthought.
August 8, 200421 yr It's all LoDuca, his chemistry and leadership has increased fan volume and rabidness by 15 to 25 percent. That and the high socks.
August 8, 200421 yr Author We need to pick up the pace to get over 2 million for the season, but a good run should pack them in.
August 8, 200421 yr We need to pick up the pace to get over 2 million for the season, but a good run should pack them in. 501546[/snapback] To get to 2 million we need to average 30k a night, about, each home game until the end of the year. 1.75 million would be a nice goal however.
August 8, 200421 yr Author you call 21K on a FRI and 22K on a SAT good????? :plain 501547[/snapback] Consistency during the week has gotten better, that means we have established that some bandwagoners have become big fans. Weekends will go up soon, the Brewers aren't the best of draws anyways.
August 8, 200421 yr you call 21K on a FRI and 22K on a SAT good????? :plain 501547[/snapback] Better than 14k and 15k.

It's not "just" the Brewers, it's the Marlins too.
August 8, 200421 yr People down there seem to be really energized by the trades. Anybody notice that? 501533[/snapback] i couldnt disagree more. 21k and 22k for a friday and saturday game is not that good compared to what we usually get on fridays and saturdays.

August 8, 200421 yr Author 40k was only like 4 games to start the season, it has been about 25-30k on sat.
August 8, 200421 yr 40k was the first games and when the Mets/Cubs/Yankees/RedSox are playing. Attendance is pretty good considering we are in a slump and its hot as hell out there.
August 8, 200421 yr you call 21K on a FRI and 22K on a SAT good????? :plain Better than the 14 or 15 the Fish would have gotten last year at the same time. :plain :plain
August 8, 200421 yr Author You take improvement where you can get it. You see weekday games have better attendance. this upcoming Cards series may not draw as well because of school starting up soon, but it will draw.
August 8, 200421 yr You have to remember it is against the Brewers too, that team is not going to draw very well in any situation, but a 21,000 average is damn good in my book. As long as can keep it above that for the rest of the season Loria I'm sure will be thrilled
August 8, 200421 yr yeah I think the 22/23 K numbers are party due to the fact we were playing the Brewers which is not exactly a great draw... but 22K sucks for a Saturday night. generally the crowds have been pretty good I think.
August 8, 200421 yr but 22K sucks for a Saturday night. 501723[/snapback] I think that the early rain scared some fans away!
August 8, 200421 yr but 22K sucks for a Saturday night. 501723[/snapback] I think that the early rain scared some fans away! 501729[/snapback] It's all your fault for posting that weather map yesterday before the game started. I bet at least 4 thousand people saw that here & stayed home. :mischief
August 8, 200421 yr 40k was only like 4 games to start the season, it has been about 25-30k on sat. 501661[/snapback] No. I've been to atleast three games with 40k+ and one was in May. I've only went to one "early" game and that was on April 24.
