Not so good.

[Goldfan]

What’s capacity?

[cardinalsfever44]

Last year the first ST game at Roger Dean had 3,996 in attendance.

[cardinalsfever44]

What’s capacity?

6,871.

Also, we are not into the fans traveling during spring break vacations yet.

When we took the family to ST it was more of an event type thing for us instead of scrutinizing the ballclub.

Getting some autographs and the atmosphere of being more accessible to the players and just the experience was the focus then.

And we went in March as opposed to February.

And we went in March as opposed to February.

When I went just before the Pandemic, it was near impossible to get a ticket.

Here is what other teams drew in attendance yesterday:

Orioles 6,934
Twins 7,638
Rays 5,354
Yankees 9,778
Blue Jays 7,243
Mets 6,293
Cleveland 5,669'
Royals 6,431
Cubs 12,073
White Sox 3,420
D-Backs 10,185
Angels 9,631
Mariners 8,559
Brewers 3,797

It really has nothing to do with spring break. Years ago, a good portion of the Cardinal attendance was from local people. I think we have to admit Cardinal interest is down.

Going by your argument, in 2019, pre-covid, the Cards first ST game at Roger Dean drew 4,831 fans. A difference of 600 fans. Big deal since this team is rebuilding and has no real marketable stars currently.

This what I was getting at. Attendance is going to be terrible in St. Louis also this year.

It is what it is. Nobody is going to be shocked that attendance is down this year. I'm very much looking forward to watching the young guys this season and hopefully in a couple years we'll be back at the top and the non hardcore fans will return.

Att: 3,746

Not so good.

Why do we need ST attendance numbers to show that? Look at Busch during real games and look at TV ratings. It's clear as day. There isn't actually much unique about Cardinals fans. If the team blows, then fans won't show, just like any other fanbase. And that's ok. It's the way it should be.

Hand wringing over attendance...do you have stock in owning the Cards?

[sikeston bulldog2]

Hand wringing over attendance...do you have stock in owning the Cards?

6871 is capacity. They drew about 55 percent of that. On a cool weekday. Before spring break.

I’d say they are on glide path to 5 K reasonably.

Why does that only affect the Cardinals?

It doesn’t. Are you saying every other venue but STL is over 55 percent full daily?

If the attendance elsewhere is higher by percent, you have a good point. If the ratio is similar, then I stand on more people will show during spring breaks.

Astros' drew 2,598 for their home spring game vs the Cardinals
