Lip Man 1 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 This was in the Athletic today. I guess JR won't be paying much to the state in terms of rent again this season: "You might not be surprised to find out the team could also be heading to its worst attendance numbers since moving into “New Comiskey.” In 1999, the Sox drew just 1,338,851 at home. (They had only 80 home games that year.) That’s an average of 16,736. This year, they’re at 837,000 through 51 home games, which gives them a 16,412 average. The average is a bit misleading as they’ve played three doubleheaders, which only count as one gate, but also we’re counting paid admission, not actual butts in seats, so it’s kind of a wash."

reiks12 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Boggles my mind seeing sox fans continue to give their money to Reinsdorf after all the middle fingers he has shown us over the years. We should be averaging under 7k. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Mite Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Sox are doing a little bit better than 16,300 a home date and they should improve on these figures with home games against the Cubs and Yankees coming up.

JoeC Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Those Oakland numbers.... yikes. Went to a Sox-A's game last year in Oakland, and I've been to more crowded parking lots at Class A ballgames. Edited July 16 by JoeC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
