There's never been such a positive buzz around baseball about the Marlins in the offseason like this before.

 

It'll pass 55 K

I hope it does, but we will see. If they could somehow announce that the stadium deal is complete before opening day then that would def help attendance

I think opening week crowd is also important.

 

Last year in the opening week (first 6 games) we averaged 30,170. But that was helped by the ring ceremony which drew 46,000.

 

I wonder if we can get close to that this year?

 

Here are some past opening day crowds

 

2004:55,315

2003:37,137

2002:23,877 even worse is that the follwing 2 games we had 9,000 COMBINED

1 person...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+ 64,999 fans.

I remember 2002, it was pathetic.

I care about the following days

We should be fine because its atlanta.

I say no because novelty of WS victory >>> Carlos Delgado

the news said that Loria has opened up all seats, will allow for up to 66,500.

I agree. There were huge areas of the upper deck that were empty, plus two large areas in the lower bowl were empty as well. Must of been a number of corporations buying up the tickets for give-aways (auto dealers, etc.)

I was in row 146 row 3 in the founders club and there were only four other people in the entire row, the rest of the row was completely empty. I'm thinking a company owned those seats and didn't give out tickets to their employees or something.

but sold is what matters, so that is good. Hopefully we can keep it up
