retro1983hat Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 This is why seeing every team in a four or five year rotation is a GOOD thing. Just wait, just wait, until the feeding frenzy this weekend with Red Sox/Cubs. The Boston fans will be all over that neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalls2598 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 my buddy and his gf flew out Sunday night to go to colorado to get away for a few days. he figured he would check out Coors field to catch a baseball game. he is a casual fan, but he roots for the sox. he doesnt really look at the schedule or know in advance who the sox are playing in a given week. well, to his surprise, the rockies just so happened to play the Sox this week. so he was a happy camper.

Yossarian Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 People have been leaving the Rust Belt states in droves for a couple of generations. There are ex Chicagoans and ex Illinoisans everywhere. We were in St. Petersburg to see the Sox play the might Devil Rays and there were plenty of Sox fans in the sparse crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Location, location, location. The closest MLB teams are over a 1000 miles away. The Rockies pull fans from Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Topeka, Lincoln, & Las Vegas as well many smaller cities in that Tri-State area. It's still a novelty to go to a Rockie game out there. If Vegas ever gets a team expect their attendance to drop considerably. It would have the same effect on the Rockies as the Nationals are having on the Orioles. I'll never forget that one columnist that put down our uniforms. What an idiot! It's a well known fact that most young people think the Sox logo & colors are the coolest amongst all major league teams. Overall the road attendance (26K/gm) has not been much better than the home attendance (23K/gm). But I think a strong June will bring those still expecting the Sox to hit a wall onto the band wagon. I'd be surprised if the best team in MLB doesn't approach 30K/gm on the road before the season ends.

I'm pretty sure Phoenix, KC, Arlington and San Fran are less than 1000 miles.. San Fran and KC more like 600 miles.. Colorado doesn't need to pull from anywhere else.

Home attendance SF is #5, AZ #18, TX #13, & KC #29. You can pretty much leave off the Rangers & the Royals because people living in those areas are much closer to the Cards & the Astros. I'm surprised to see the contending D-Backs ranked only 18th in attendance this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm Chicago is within 1000 miles of Denver......I can see some of the closer states but I cant see people traveling more then like 300 miles to go watch a Rockies game.....

So was your point that people would rather drive 800 miles to Denver from Vegas versus 300 miles to LA, or 400 to AZ, or 600 to SF..? I just don't think many people go from Vegas to Colorado to watch a ball game where as I would guess that baseball fans in Texas and KC would. BTW, I used Vegas because in all honestly I don't think folks in Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Topeka, & Lincoln are all that interested in traveling to a big city for a ball game. I think folks that live there are there for a reason and the quiet life and slow pace is more appealing to them and choose to remain there for their leisure activities. Regardless.. like I said Denver, which consists of over 4 million people itself, is more than capable of filling that place. Apparently the fans just aren't interested.

And I wouldn't think those within 300 miles would bother to do that. What's out there.. the Amish, Mormans, etc..... people who are strong into family and nature, right? (Seriously I'm asking so if anyone knows please correct me cause I have no idea). And, no offense J, but I don't see people from Vegas going to Colorado.. two completely different worlds.

Milkman delivers Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 QUOTE(Be Good @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 07:30 AM) I see some people wearing Sox hats in NY, and when I ask them why they say because they like the logo. You wouldn't believe how many people wear them out in Boston. Most know that it's the logo of the White Sox, but some are just really stupid and assume that the "Sox" stands for the Red Sox.

Take a look at what's coming up... 3 games with the Cubs = 3 sell outs 3 games with the Red Sox = 3 sell outs 3 games with the yankees = 3 near sell outs 7 more home dates with the twins, including the final 4 home games of the year. = 7 times over 30K That's easily gonna come in at over half a mil for those 16 games.

I have that one in my collection and whenever I wear it Scrubs fans are always like "Why are you wearing a Red Sox hat" and I have to explain to them that the White Sox have not always been Black and White..... I guess you could call it a "Red" Sox hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
