CapeFish Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 Behind Minnesota, in front of Cleveland. We are #25 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishPhan Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 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.

Breck Fish Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 It's all LoDuca, his chemistry and leadership has increased fan volume and rabidness by 15 to 25 percent. That and the high socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 We need to pick up the pace to get over 2 million for the season, but a good run should pack them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TealMonster Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 you call 21K on a FRI and 22K on a SAT good????? :plain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishPhan Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 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.

CapeFish Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishPhan Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 you call 21K on a FRI and 22K on a SAT good????? :plain 501547[/snapback] Better than 14k and 15k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not "just" the Brewers, it's the Marlins too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaq-Man Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 People down there seem to be really energized by the trades.

CapeFish Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 40k was only like 4 games to start the season, it has been about 25-30k on sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyMountainMarlin Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFan24 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 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.

Flamarlins3 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 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.

MarlinFan10 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Crowds will go up once St. Louis comes to town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet at least 4 thousand people saw that here & stayed home. :mischief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only went to one "early" game and that was on April 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
