Moser316 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 That reminds me of what County Stadium looked like for Opening Day in Major League.375 fans? Sheesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friarcanuck Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The first though I had was "That would never have happened in Montreal", but realized most people would say 'Ya, they would only get 150'.What date was that on? I can't find it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The first though I had was "That would never have happened in Montreal", but realized most people would say 'Ya, they would only get 150'.What date was that on? I can't find it anywhere.That was yesterday's game. Whoa 375? ... Interesting considering the slogan on the banner so when are they planning to move to Hamilton?

njmeadowlanders Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I always wondered what it would look like for major league baseball to be played in front of nobody... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sec19Row53 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The box score on MLB.com says 10,121. Any source for 375? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The box score on MLB.com says 10,121. Any source for 375?The Photo?Teams typically announce ticket sales including give aways to make them sound better. The Cardinals sell out all the time and I always see Red Seats everywhere.I'm sure in the Marlins case, there is some attendance padding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The box score on MLB.com says 10,121. Any source for 375?Estimate from a journalist?It's good to see the Marlins still have 10,000 season ticket holders, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The box score on MLB.com says 10,121. Any source for 375?I googled and the best I could find was a blog claiming that was the attendance at first pitch. I suppose with that few you could count them if you take a few photos--but that would mean there are certainly people getting concessions, etc. If baseball is actually being played in the above photo, then I've never seen anything like that--horrible. Though I do wonder whether it looked a little better later in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinfan Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I was one of the few there. I can see myself in the larger version of that picture. It felt very Twilight Zoneish with an entire section to myself by the end of the game.It was hell on earth. I have never sweated so much in my life.MLBs game attendance is always based on tickets sold and not how many people actually show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 On a brutally cold Chicago afternoon in April, 1997, the White Sox drew 750 for a matinee against the Blue Jays. Florida, you have certainly raised the bar for franchise failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
