Toronto Tickets
Fans picked up the pace of buying Blue Jays tickets this season. One reason is the schedule:
Elster gives most of the credit to an improved schedule. Last year, fans grumbled that key rivals in New York and Boston didn't play a single weekend game in Toronto.
This year, the Red Sox visit during the home opening weekend April 4-6. The Yankees will arrive for a July series just ahead of the all-star game. The Jays will also host the Chicago Cubs and 1992 World Series opponents, the Atlanta Braves.
In the 1980s, I had a weekend pass to Fenway Park. With fourteen teams, no interleague play and a balanced schedule, every opponent had one weekend at Fenway. Fans with that package no longer get to see every AL team.

I'm hoping a balanced schedule gains some grassroots steam
