April 2, 201115 yr I know its only been 1 game, but how often do we lead the league in attendance?? BTW, this is based on percentage capacity. http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance/_/sort/homePct
April 2, 201115 yr Think of this, we'll never have 41,000 at a game after this year....... the most it will be is 37,000.
April 3, 201115 yr ^^^ As long as it's in OUR own stadium, made just for BASEBALL it's fine with me!!!
April 3, 201115 yr Capacity is good. No excuse why the Marlins can't get at least 30,000 a game per season for the first few seasons regardless of record. Even with a sour economy.
April 4, 201115 yr Not to be a Debbie Downer, as I wasn't in attendance, but what was the percentage of Muts fans to Marlins fans? I was there in 2008 and the crowd was 60/40 in the Marlins favor. It looked like a good crowd, hopefully the attendance will continue throughout the year.

It looked like a good crowd, hopefully the attendance will continue throughout the year. It's usually about a 50-50 split against the Mets, IMO. Wasn't there, but I don't think it being the Mets had anything to do with capacity. It's opening week, we're bound to get good sales anyways. The Mets fans probably just drove up the price on third party ticket sales.

I didn't see many in the there, but I got there about 6:45 so went straight in. I don't think the Mutts attendance was very high that night in comparison to the Marlins.

BTW, this is based on percentage capacity. http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance/_/sort/homePct If that number mattered, they wouldnt sell over the capacity. For whatever reason the Marlins have listed the capacity at 37,000 (or whatever it is), but it doesnt mean anything if you'll sell anyone a ticket who shows up. The capacity is supposed to equal the number of seats at the venue. In the Marlins case its 65,000 (for baseball). However, it is nice to get a lot of people there. Hopefully with the new stadium, they'll get 30,000+ for every game.

They play in a football stadium and are a small market team.
