SD sells out every game

Can’t live in past

Today/Now is more important

That's interesting. They also had Diamond for their tv deal. I wonder if the Chargers moving had something to do with increased attendance for the Padres.

That plus Peller's wheeling & dealing makes for exciting the fan base.

Yep. The whole experience just felt vibrant. Petco is older than Busch by a couple of years but feels newer and cleaner and more modern. The game experience was incredible — live music, fun memes on the scoreboard, City Connect uniforms that were designed to excite the fans, not do just enough to not alienate the old-timers. The place was full of young adults and families, not blue hairs keeping score. It felt like the 21st Century.

you should have checked out the Savanah Bananas a few weeks ago

I saw them last year. Amazing. The fan experience is the future of baseball.

I vaguely remember that once being Busch Stadium until DWJR/Mo e f f e d it up.

II & III sold out the fans, too, every game.

So become a fan of that little ser organization. No one will care or miss you.

Such a butt hurt, “you can take your ball and go home” response.

No. If its so horrible, why do you punish yourself?

[The Nard]

Must be those new Bananas-inspired unis.

If it’s so good, why is attendance cratering? If it’s so good, why is the fanbase not talking about the playoffs?

Oh wait, it’s not!

Again, of it's so horrible, why pay any attention? Seems to really really disturb you

Again, if it’s so good why don’t other people see that and continue to buy the product? It’s not and you know it.

It’s really weird that you are so irked by the criticism of this product that you have to come on here and tell people that they should they should stop watching and “no one will miss them.” Time to read the room.

You are one the one that should leave as I guarantee no one will miss you.

You do realize that in the entire history of the Padres organization they have drawn 3 million fans only three times. For comparison, including this season, there have only been three seasons in the last 21 that the Cardinals HAVEN'T drawn 3 million and only 4 times in the past 26 seasons. If you are going to compare the Cardinals with another MLB team at least choose one that ha573-303-7844 5s a history of success and fan support. The Padres have neither.

Nobody cares about history. We’re talking about now.

And that, my friend, is the problem.

It sure is and those who can't understand that are fools.

Again, explain this to me. Is “the problem” that nobody cares about history, or that we’re talking about now? Constantly looking backward is what’s gotten this organization in the rut it’s in now. You want more of that?

Winning and putting a competitive team on the field is the "history" of this franchise.

Not gimmicks like guys pitching on stilts or a group of guys dancing at home plate after a run is scored. That stuff is great once or twice but being successful in the spirit of what competition is all about is what creates a lasting buzz for fans of the game.

The ownership lost sight of this when they turned over the first shovel of dirt for BPV and the slide has led them into a tunnel with no light that I can see.

Winning in the Cardinal tradition should never be looked at as being "backward".

Winning is winning. Traditions can change and it’s not a bad thing.

Right now the "tradition" of winning is far away and I'm sure that's not the future you're talking about.

when will we ever be able to compete with the mighty mighty Padres - not just for one game but for the season series ?
