Wow

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I think 347 may even be generous.

Yeah, they deserve a new stadium...

Even when there isn't a hurricane that won't hit Florida, their attendance is garbage!

Check out the viewing angle on those seats in the upper deck behind home plate. If a ball goes in the left field corner, you'd have to turn you head so much you'd need a chiropractor.

Church League has better attendance.

Church League has better attendance.

And probably better beer sales.

I can count several times I've watched Marlins games and couldn't count 200 in attendance.

 

[YankeeVol]

That's just sad

POS stadium, POS team, POS ownership.

Not only did they sell the city on a new stadium, but then they hid assets in order to get the taxpayers to pay more money. Someone stop me if I'm wrong.

I think Tampa Bay will have decent (improved anyway) attendance when they move into their new stadium, but the Marlins badly need out of Florida. A new stadium will help a little, but once the novelty and new stadium smell wear off, I'm afraid it'll be back to this.

I think relocation is the answer rather than contraction - the Nats have proven that even a perennial cellar dweller can draw (decent enough) support when relocated to the right city.

The last player poll I saw regarding what cities should be next to get a baseball franchise had Las Vegas as the overwhelming favorite (with I think Nashville 2nd or 3rd and Chattanooga somewhere in the top ten).

Where does Volnation think they should end up?

 

[Escape Goat]

Nashville! But I am biased.

Minor league games here have a bigger attendance
