May 2, 200620 yr ''Most of them''? Thats even more unbelivable!, that means there were less marlins fans then what you could see.
May 2, 200620 yr lets see last year we averaged 22,872 fans/per game with 67 million dollar payroll, that equals 341 fans/per game per million spent. Now we have 15 million payroll. 15 x 341 = 5,120 fans per game There has been a market correction for attendance as well. Take note Samson
May 2, 200620 yr No I cant. There must have been 500 marlins fans there tonight, that boggles the mind, its like saying when does the universe end, its just unbelivable.

I mean, seriously, you think I'm going to use a word like "correlation" and not understand basic algebra?
May 2, 200620 yr I don't know if you would consider this funny or not, but we can actually hear people at the fish tank heckle players. You know the dancing peanut guy that barks? We heard him from across the stadium.

They have the smallest stadium in the league, the second highest payroll and a sick team.

May 2, 200620 yr Is it so bad that people in South Florida demand to see a competitive team if they are going to pay so much to go to a game? Do you all think that if the Mets, lets say, had a firesale like ours and lowered payroll to 15 million, fielding mostly rookies...what do you suppose they would average at home games? I think NYers expect the Mets to field a competitive team every year...same everywhere.

And I have been to mets games where they have had about 12,000 or so and that was a few years ago with a 100 mil payroll.
May 2, 200620 yr did anyone hear my bird calls on friday? I thought that was supposed to be your marlin call. Where were you guys on Saturday? I was looking for you. I'll be at the game tonight. I couldn't go last night because I had my own game to play. We put up 7 runs in the first inning and then blew the lead. I guess we are the Lady Marlins!
May 2, 200620 yr I was there tonight, and it was rather depressing. On the post game show on 560, they said it was the fewest amount of people at a Marlins game since a 2002 game against the Expos.
May 2, 200620 yr On the post game show on 560, they said it was the fewest amount of people at a Marlins game since a 2002 game against the Expos. I actually remember going to that game. You could literally count the fans in the stands. Sections had 4 or 5 people in them all together in places. I feel bad for the players, that's about it. Loria&Co knew what they were getting into...

I think NYers expect the Mets to field a competitive team every year...same everywhere. I would also think the Mets would come out for a competitive star-studded team. There was a minimal increase in attendance from 2004 to 2005 despite the acquisitions of Delgado and Leiter. The suggestion Miami is comes out for a winner is a myth. They simply just don't come out. And for good reason. Why is this bad? Well, it sends a negative impression at a time most crucial. The Marlins and local politicians are discussing about the very existence of the Florida Marlins. To turn them off would only hinder our ability to keeping them in South Florida, at a time we hope they can be competitive and draw well.
May 2, 200620 yr The Marlins aren't the only ones with attendance problems : (from last nites boxscores) Atlanta - 19,212 Mets - 28,310 (mediocre -- capacity is 57,000) Milwaukee - 12,258 Arizona - 20,099 Cincinnati - 20,900 Minnesota - 11,796 Baltimore - 14,315 Cleveland - 17,845 (hosting the World Champ White Sox) Detroit - 9,597 (and this for a team with a 17-9 record) Sure the Marlins had only 6,017 but still these other teams aren't exactly sizzling at the turnstiles.
May 2, 200620 yr Who's gonna watch this junk anyway. Everyone is probably at home jerking off at the computer. :arms

Other teams' attendance will turn around; the Marlins attendance will not.
May 2, 200620 yr They need to lower ticket prices in line with the demand. Family of four, plus hot dogs and drinks, plus parking for $40
May 2, 200620 yr They're trying to artificially create demand (see reducing seats, setting ticket prices not to be disposable, designating premium games), not be slaves to the market.
