91% of Americans have a smart phone, 96% have Internet.
Who wants to watch a baseball game on their phone and not all TV's are smart TV's.
The bulk of my Cards and or TV viewing over the last 3-4 years has been on a phone, tablet, and or laptop.
Prefer the freedom of movement to being stuck in 1 physical location.
I do tend to larger size phones, smaller ones I could see being an issue in watching a game.
Net Net, More Flags, More Fun, For Everyone.
Speaking of Flags. Sorry to hear 6 Flags is exiting St Louis. A Roller Coaster and Thrill ride fanatic, and while I hadn't been there the lost opportunity bums me out.
Just under different ownership. You can still come ride the coasters.
In this era a 60,70,80” TV’s it blows my mind that people would be satisfied watch a Baseball game on a cell phone???
Agree and how can it be family entertainment on a cell phone. I have had a cell phone for many years, but I refuse to pay to watch a baseball game on a cell phone.
Fortunately get MLB.TV free via T-Mobile.
Family entertainment. Good luck getting The Family together to watch a baseball game. Most are off on their own mobile devices consuming everything and anything other than baseball.

Buy the streaming service for only $99.
I think the OP is suggesting the Cardinals will lose thousands of loyal viewers, probably on the lower side of the income scale.
If those folks don’t have internet or smart phones……they are not really the demographic advertisers covet…
Also, are we really going to believe people who spent enough on cable to have Fox Sports Midwest in the past don't have the money to pay for the internet or a smart phone? Come on now.
This may shock some of you, but some people won't be able to justify putting a hundred bucks on a Cardinals package.
Laughable. Since when do you care about affordable anything for anyone?? I guess when it involves fossils who can't watch their baseball, wahh. What next? Will we force them to choose between their cat food rations and the cardinals teevee package? Give me a break. Let me break out my tiny violin and play 'Nearer, my gawd, to thee' for you while your ship founders, lol.
Well, some day your parents are going to cut you off and you'll have to figure it out for yourself.
Good one. Unfortunately my parents are gone, lost my father nearly a year ago. He was far better person than yourself so it was quite a loss.
“I won’t pay for streaming services because they’re expensive/I don’t like the technology.”
“I don’t buy tickets because the team’s not good/they’re expensive/I’m afraid to go downtown.”
“They’re losing me, a loyal customer.”
If you don’t buy tickets, concessions, merchandise, or pay to watch their games anymore — you’re not a customer anymore. A fan maybe, but not a customer. Maybe you used to be, but you’re not now.
Why would any business cater to people who used to be customers?
