Where are the Fans?
I'm watching the Cardinals-Braves game, and it looks like there are few fans there. It doesn't look like it's cold; I don't see a lot of coats in the stands. You have a great pitching matchup. These are two good teams. Where are the fans? They just missed back-to-back HR off Morris!
Attendance is down about 6% this year. Through the same number of days last year, MLB was averaging 26,915 fans per date. This year, it's down to 25,487. It seems to me that the media exaggeration of the players/owners troubles during contract negotiations last year is still turning off fans.
