Just a comment- we will most likely draw 2.2 million fans this year. I think that is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceffa2000 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I was quite surprised by the turnout when I went to the game on Tuesday. 32,000+ against the Blue Jays? It makes it so much fun in the stadium with those kind of crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Was there about 96K for the series? Should be at least 100K this weekend. Yanks already have 107K. The Twins for some reason are not a draw. How close are we to 2.5????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) To avoid watching a history channel commercial... EDIT: We're not going to do that here. Salon gets it's revenues from the commercials. They provide great content. We should respect their revenue stream and support them by clicking on the ad.

Back in April or May I looked at last year's monthly averages and made some guesses as to what they would be this year. I came up with a total of just over 2.3 million. So far all my monthly guesses have been just a little on the high side. I'm thinking they'll end up with somewhere between 2.1 and 2.3 for the year. They'd have to average 36,000+ a night for the remaining home games to hit 2.5 for the year. Edited August 5, 2005 by Iwritecode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yossarian Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 This should put an end to the never ending mindless criticism of the White Sox alleged inability to draw. Yeah right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaCWS Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 On a side note, I just read this on CBS Sportsline: The crowd of 39,165 was the White Sox's 11th sellout of the season, a franchise record. Can that really be true? A franchise that has been around for more than 100 years has never sold out more than 11 dates in a full season??? I am not buying that for a second. That stat has to be wrong. Has to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 why did they not want to talk about attendance? we always kept on saying, if management put the product on the field, that fans will come out. that was why we were soooo angry with the sox. btw good to see again iwc. peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to happen a lot over there. On a different note, I am thrilled to death the fans are coming. It's a lot more enjoyable to go to a full ball park then a half empty one. It's good to win back some fans, hopefully it'll continue and the team can draw like they did in the early '90's. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Exactly, it's great to see the place packed basically every home night. Not only does it bring a great atmosphere to the park, but it should also help with payroll issues for future seasons. That's one thing none of us can complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I WENT TO SEVERAL GAMES IN APRIL, AND EVEN ON HALF PRICE NIGHT THE ATTENDANCE WAS USUALLY UNDER 22,000. WITH THE SELLOUT CROWDS WE'RE HAVING NOW THE AVERAGE WILL GO UP.
