April 13, 200521 yr Author for early april, its not that bad. Look at some of the other teams with attendance in sub 15,000 for a game so far this season: Atlanta, Chicago, Milwakee, Baltimore, etc... Its not a big deal right now. Yes mondays crowd was very poor but its not the end of the world

Its not a big deal right now. Yes mondays crowd was very poor but its not the end of the world 740755[/snapback] Okay thats it. You see, once people just flat out lie, I can't deal with it. Atlanta Lets see: 4/8: 50K 4/9: 40K 4/10: 36K 4/11: 16K 4/12: 20K These are rough estimates, but they NEVER had a sub par 15K in attendance game this year. link Please, if you are going to make a statement, and want to sound reasonable, AT LEAST KNOW YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH. Baltimore: 4/4: 48K 4/6: 22K 4/7: 16K link Seriously.... Is 16K < 15K?
April 13, 200521 yr I know that today is a Wednesday and it's a day game, but the crowd looks pretty pathetic. :plain
April 13, 200521 yr When people are at work or school, you can't really go to the games...now can you?
April 13, 200521 yr When people are at work or school, you can't really go to the games...now can you? 741085[/snapback] Watch an afternoon game at Chicago or Boston or LA or Arizona or half a dozen other cities. They manage to fill in the seats.

April 13, 200521 yr This is South Florida. Not Chicago, Atlanta or NY I think our FO is doing a nice job of building the fan base. Give them time. They have delivered so far. You guys should mention TV and radio ratings as well. Those have gone up tremendously the last 5 years. People are following and paying attention to this team.
April 13, 200521 yr It sucks. A team as competitive as we are should easily be doing 20K. 741080[/snapback] What section were you in today? How many friends did you bring with you to the game? :mischief2

April 13, 200521 yr This is what I think.... Teams like Chicago and Boston have been around for years and years. The longer a team is in existence the more fans you will have because fans run in generations. If your Granparents are Cubs fans, your parents are probably Cubs fans etc: etc: Thats how those teams get so many fans...I think in about 5-10 years the Marlins will have a packed stadium almost every night...we just need to get that generation thing going :thumbup
April 13, 200521 yr all those excuses really don't fly because AZ is pretty similar traffic out here is horrible and the only thing downtown are the stadiums .... most everyone has to drive 30-60 mins there are tons of other options out here to do as well .... weather is perfect this time of year our population dwindles in the summer we have tons of transplants that aren't tied to the d-backs it's a new franchise they've won 1 ring and fell on hard times ... the marlins won 2 rings, fell on hard times and are now a very competative team the other night the d-backs had a record low crowd against the rockies ... that was just over 20k

Remember that we came into the league the same year as they did and they have almost always beaten us attendance wise. I'm sure things will get better as kids grow up to be Marlins fans, but you would think this generation would do a little more to support this team.
