southsider2k5 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ May 16, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) I was at the game with Brian and his family (a group of 12 total). Keep in mind Brian is not a Sox fan (I think I am starting to get him to cheer for the Sox as I can hear the game in the garage occasionally and he seems to be saying quite a few positive things about the team). During the game he looked around and said that he thought it was packed - that took a lot to come from him lol. I don't know what the attendance was yesterday as FMIL made us leave in the beginning of the 8th (she was driving his sister and us so we had to go when she said so lol). 34,030, including 8 of us, and my moms first game since 1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro1983hat Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Does anyone else just keep looking at the calendar and can't wait until June so we can put some, some, of this attendance stuff to rest? Of course that series against the Drays ought to be scary during 4th of July week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that series against the Drays ought to be scary during 4th of July week. Not happening. In fact, June would make it much worse. It'll show that even with the better weather, we won't sell out. Only games we'll sell out are Cubs, Yanks, Red Sox and Twins, and playoffs(if we get there). That's not alot at all. And I'm not even sure about the Red Sox series being sold out(probably close). That's pretty poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyWhiteSox Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Sox currently have the number 1 record in baseball but are number 23 in attendance. I'd like to see the attendance meet halfway with our current record, at the very least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this stuff is peripheral (media, attendance, the CUBS, etc)...at least to me. Enjoy the team and their success, it'll make things a lot more fun for the time being.

UofIChiSox Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I can only speak for myself, but I'm definitely most concerned about how the team does on the field. At the same time, ANY of the players will tell you that they love to play in front of a full house and play their best then. I'm interested in the players playing their best, so it's all related. When I turn on a game, I hate seeing blue seats, I still watch the whole game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was and I wasn't, I don't expect every game to sellout, I do wish we had better attendance though. Most of all I hope we continue to win 3 out of every 4 games!
