E CaT PanTHer Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Think of this, we'll never have 41,000 at a game after this year....... the most it will be is 37,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleBelle311 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 ^^^ As long as it's in OUR own stadium, made just for BASEBALL it's fine with me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Beinfest Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 We can always lead in capacity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enterthemadness Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofthefish Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 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'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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

JetsMania Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 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 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play in a football stadium and are a small market team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
