Highland Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 It is strange how this organization responds to fan protests and fan alienation. After the 1997 White Flag Trade, attendance dropped significantly. The team thought it would win fans back after it swept the Cubs at Wrigley in 1999. Didn't happen. In 2000, attendance improved with the division title, but didn't top 2,000,000. Playoff tickets were relatively easy to get. You'd think there would be good crowds in September as it became obvious the Sox were winning the Central. But there were crowds of less than 20,000 and that left some people scratching their heads. But some fans, even with the success of a 95-win season in 2000, weren't coming back. The media, both the print media and sports talk radio, ripped Sox fans as band wagon jumpers and ingrates. The White Sox organization had no clue what was going on. Fans have every right to voice their dissent. I just don't know if anyone will listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't talk about late '90's attendance without mentioning the '94 strike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Have 20 games a year with bobbleheads given away. Don't even have to be Sox players if that's permissible. Make those 20 games into a mini season ticket plan with the seats in the upper deck on weekend nights . Would sell like crazy and get good attendance on days other than weekends.

Maybe a companion non-game thread, where you post about what you are watching and doing while not watching the game. Just spitballing here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 How does one protest a protest thread? Is it like starting a thread complaining about the complainers? Curious how to navigate this properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
