April 10, 200521 yr Through 5 games, the Marlins are at 146,896 and are averaging 29,379 so far. So the weekend series against the Nationals is below our season average thus far. With the numbers today, they are at 171,985 for the season thus far.

So the weekend series against the Nationals is below our season average thus far. 736835[/snapback] That opening day game kinda throws the average off. Most teams can't possibly have a crowd that big on opening day due to the smaller stadiums. And look at it this way, outside of the opening day game, the two other Braves games averaged together had a smaller average than the Nats series.

And I said the Heat at this point last year were in a playoff run as well, and then made it into the playoffs, and heck did make it into the second round. Its not like no one was going to Heat games last year.

And so far this year the only day the Heat would have stolen fans away would have been tonight. Looking at the opening day attendance, I don't think they stole many away there. Plus I think a lot of people left opening day early to make their way down to Miami. So using the excuse that the Heat took fans away is piss-poor. The baseball fan base in S. Fla is not there. Attendance is up league wide and down in S. Fla. Go figure. You want to say its because last year the Marlins came off the WS win, fine do that. Then admit the fanbase is nothing but a bandwagon POS and quit having gripes that the Marlins get no respect, because their own base doesn't respect them. "You build it they will come".... yeah if they exsist.

The Heat are better and since Miami is a town of bandwagoners, they're all watching the Heat and not the Marlins. Also, just because people don't go to the Heat games doesn't mean the Heat aren't taking away fans. The more people that stay at home and/or go to sports bars to watch the Heat are the same ones that could watch a Marlins game in real life if they felt so inclined.

April 10, 200521 yr Less than 20,000 on a Friday night? That sucks. It was a good game by Willis too. For the record, it's attendAnce, not attendence.

That's why the Marlins want to move down south. It would cut a lot of time off the fanbases driving time. Southern Broward/ Northern Miami-Dade is not a demographic that leans toward baseball. Central and Southern Miami Dade is where the money is.

April 10, 200521 yr You can't compare last year's first week with this one, there were alot of fans who went to the first Saturday game because of the silly ring promotion. Wait for 2 weeks of home games to go by.
April 11, 200521 yr An average of 25,000 per game over a full season equates to 2 million paid attendance. I think the Fish would be very happy to see that happen.
