February 26, 20188 yr Interesting reference point for Marlins. http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/rays/2018/02/26/rays-reportedly-close-to-rich-new-tv-deal-worth-an-average-of-82m-annually/
February 26, 20188 yr I dont know the tv deals of other teams around the league, but this seems like a huge number and with limited knowledge of this situation would appear to be great news for the future marlins tv deal.
February 26, 20188 yr This is a huge number for them. It's somewhat promising for the Marlins, but from what I understand, the Rays have better ratings. Possibly more than double the number of viewing households, if I understand the numbers correctly. Didnt know their numbers were so much better than ours if its true. Still good news for the marlins nonetheless, but that news to me further shows how much the rays need a new stadium in the actual tampa area and not in st. pete or at the very least an actual modern ballpark in the st. pete region.
February 26, 20188 yr Author I think the household numbers for both teams are similar. It wasn’t always this way but starting about ten years ago fox sports FL and sun sports each had a team and both teams are broadcast statewide. At least I think they are. I’ve lived in three different counties along the Atlantic Coast as far south as Dade and on each county I got rays and marlins only difference is that mlb.tv blacks out the marlins because i live in their territory. In short I believe those rays numbers are driven by the fact the whole state can see them. It should be the same for the marlins so I suspect this deal once finalized is the floor for the marlins next deal
February 26, 20188 yr Looks like Marlins TV ratings have been on the decline, probably due to people being frustrated by the direction of the franchise. Ratings dropped 30% from 2016 to 2017. I understand that a little given that we were kind of OK in 2016 and Jose wasnt around in 2017, but surprised Stanton's year didnt make those numbers closer. Maybe has something to do with Stanton's best month coming in August when we were completely out of it essentially.
February 26, 20188 yr Makes no sense to me just by virtue of having to listen to Dewayne Staats vs Rich, despite no Tommy. Must be watching with the sound off.

February 26, 20188 yr Looks like Marlins TV rating dropped 30% from 2016 to 2017. That blows my mind. If I would have had to throw out a guess I would have said 10% decline at most.
February 27, 20188 yr It could have. I still think that Jeter had something to do with Rich's departure though, but I am more curious if the firing of Tommy Hutton led to a gradual decline in ratings at least a little bit. I bet it did. Tommy was very popular.

Still good news for the marlins nonetheless, but that news to me further shows how much the rays need a new stadium in the actual tampa area and not in st. pete or at the very least an actual modern ballpark in the st. pete region. This is such a crock of shit - anyone who lives in the Tampa Bay area (whether you're on the Tampa or St. Pete side of the bay) is a moron if they think it's some horrendous measure to get to the ballpark. That ballpark is literally the easiest park to get to/from from anywhere in the bay area. There's virtually no traffic going towards the games in the evening because rush hour is headed the opposite way. You see the stadium and take the exit and boom, you're there. The stadium itself is an eyesore but in terms of location I'd gladly go there versus a downtown Tampa site. Plus, downtown St. Pete is WAAAAAAY more entertaining and filled with culture compared to Tampa which is an utter shithole. I lived in the Tampa Bay area for 25 years and people just like having an excuse why they aren't going. Same shit as with the Marlins stadium when all the people liked blaming it on Joe Robbie/Sun Life or whatever the eff it was last called.

Same shit as with the Marlins stadium when all the people liked blaming it on Joe Robbie/Sun Life or whatever the eff it was last called. Ill take you word on Tampa Bay v. St. Pete because i was going based on what people have told me, but Hardrock Stadium was a terrible site for the marlins. The only positive about it was its proximity to people in BOTH dade and Broward as it was essentially in the middle, but the stadium sucked, there was nothing to do in or around the stadium, and if you ever went to a day game theres a 50/50 shot you got heat stroke.
February 27, 20188 yr If the ratings dropped that much just imagine if Stanton didn't have the year he had!

February 27, 20188 yr Maybe has something to do with Stanton's best month coming in August when we were completely out of it essentially. Which is funny because Stanton's August actually kept us in the race, definitely weren't completely out of it then.
February 27, 20188 yr Which is funny because Stanton's August actually kept us in the race, definitely weren't completely out of it then. I mean I guess we technically got back into it and i was hoping we could keep that up when we had that winning streak towards the end of august but there was really no true hope of us making the playoffs.
