Texsox Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I'm thinking you can't beat fun at the ballpark and they hit the 2,000,000 mark again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 No way. It will be under 1.8. Go to whitesox.com look up opening day, which is usually a sellout even when they are bad. It doesn't look like half the park is sold yet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The record low is 1,338,851 for a full season at the new stadium. 2022 was the lone season they drew over 1,800,000 under Rick Hahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Should have had 1.2-1.5 million and 1.5 to 1.8 million voting options. It can get worse if the possibility of a new stadium disappears this summer…or the threat to move again comes to the forefront with the national and local press, as they have almost nothing else to write about until the trade deadline.

Lightly Folded Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 With all the perceived negative stuff, billion dollar subsidy ask, lousy team, lousy manager, lousy everything persona, and it’s only going to get worse, attendance will be low, between 850,000 and 900,000. The media having their knives out for Jerry certainly won’t help either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The attendance will start off bad at the beginning of the season. Then after the team starts winning the attendance will pickup. They might even draw over 2 million. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Depends how dynamic the pricing is. Since it's introduction the Sox' version of "dynamic" has been essentially a one way street. I think the rise in labor costs have to be hurting any pipe dreams of Jerry deciding to offer cheap beer and cheap tickets to fill the park. Hard to do that when southsiderz can't be bothered to show up and serve hot dogs for $25 per hour. Edited February 22 by GREEDY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Post covid live event bump is long gone. They will be lucky to be getting 15k through the gates a night by the end of June. They can announce paid as 20k or even 18k, but there will be a lot of no shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't crack 1M. Even the most diehard among us will find better ways to spend their summer nights. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) It was 1,669,628 last year, and that was with much higher expectations that the team would be good. It will be even lower this year with everyone already knowing the team sucks and that they have a lame duck manager.

Even the most diehard among us will find better ways to spend their summer nights. I'd be shocked if it's that low. That's 12,345 per game, which would be a 42% decrease. Usually the worst games at least draw about that, just off STHs alone. When you factor in giveaway dates that will still draw, they probably average 18k at a bare minimum.

greg775 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I called a die hard Sox fan last night to see his state of mind. I mean a DIE HARD fan. He got fired from his job for going to a Sox playoff game one year. His boss said you must work; he said (bleep) you. Anyhow, he said he will go to no games. He has no interest in watching on TV or mlb.com. He said he's already looking forward to doing other things during the 3 hrs of a White Sox game. Unless somehow they win (this team is not gonna win) attendance will be ridiculously low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the Sox did in terms of roster this offseason is flat out pathetic. Thanks, Jerry and Co. for trying to improve this team. My gosh. I'd say the tank is on, which it is, but tanking is ridiculous in baseball. There are no Victor's out there who are can't miss in baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lineup of Benidenti, Moncada, Robert Jr, Eloy, Vaughn, Moncada and hopefully Montgomery will lead the team to the playoffs. This lineup is going to score alot of runs. It will be an exciting team and White Sox fans will be dancing in the streets once they're in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lineup last year looked just the same on paper. Of the six you listed, three are injury prone. Lot of strikeouts coming in that group. Then catcher, Lopez, the new inept hitting shortstop are automatic outs. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
