If the team continues to tank it won't be long before there are only 5-6000 a nite at the Jake. The novelty has worn off.
It has already started. Attendance has dropped by 10,000 a night from 2000-2002, that is about 840,000 less total tickets sold. This year, while still a sell out, was also the lowest openning day attendance in the Jake's history also.
I could see the Indians attendance falling to the mid 20k's this year, if they don't get really hot soon.
