Eh, the boring Twins were the opponent, and the weather was iffy.

Yeah, “the OPPOSING team isn’t interesting enough” and
“what if I get wet?” sounds wayyyyyyy better on the BFIB reputation as opposed to “we’re starting to get sick of the complacency” when explaining why the opening day weekend crowd was unimpressive……..

I guess the forecast thunderstorms had nothing to do with it.

Man, you can come up with more excuses. Advance ticket sales have nothing to do with a weather forecast.

Those crowd shots are extremely concerning. There is No Crowd!!!

Wow. Looks like Pittsburgh or Oakland.

We must be near rock bottom at this point

As long as team keeps Winning, couldn't care if they were playing to an Entirely Empty Stadium.

I mean, the bold is the key.

Fans were disappointed by the lack of offseason movement and didn't want to throw down big money right away.

Winning solves all.

Cards keep playing good baseball, Busch will be packed by late April.

It will take much longer than April because crowds are generally advance ticket sales. I have enjoyed the first three games and hopefully good sound fundamental baseball will continue.

Pre-season ticket sales is what has been the Cardinals trademark for years. That's why they can have 30,000 in the seats and paid attendance is 36 or 38,000. This will be a down year on attendance no matter how well they play. It would be interesting to know what the pre-season tickets were this year.

My entire life
Kids have attended School
There’s been weather
Games have started around 7pm
Games have been on Holidays
And when theres been an exciting winning team……..with an ownership that seemed to give 2 chits……Busch Stadium has been mostly full
But now that the team hasn’t been winning or playing exciting baseball with an owner who seems to no longer care to win…..attendance is solely affected by the items listed above

A contributing factor might be that inflation has lowered the family recreational budget somewhat.

A contributing factor might be that inflation has lowered the family recreational budget somewhat.

MLB Attendance through the first 2-4 games of the teams that have been at home has been up by 1,114 per game. And that is unjustly affected by TB being in a minor league park vs MLB park (a 10,815 difference per game).

Right now of the 16 teams with a home game, we have the biggest decrease yoy per game (-6,363) outside of TB.

And if that pace kept for us, it would put our attendance at 2.36 million for the season. And if everything else stayed the same that puts us around 17th in the game.

In other words ownership better hope the team keeps playing like they have or they could be looking at a bottom half team in attendance.

When I saw 26,000 (paid, which is all they announce now) for yesterday's game I wondered if that's the season ticket total for this year. It's either that or LESS. So, does anyone know what it was for last year or two years ago? I'm just wondering if there was a big falloff this year.

MLB Attendance through the first 2-4 games of the teams that have been at home has been up by 1,114 per game. And that is unjustly affected by TB being in a minor league park vs MLB park (a 10,815 difference per game).

Right now of the 16 teams with a home game, we have the biggest decrease yoy per game (-6,363) outside of TB.

And if that pace kept for us, it would put our attendance at 2.36 million for the season. And if everything else stayed the same that puts us around 17th in the game.

In other words ownership better hope the team keeps playing like they have or they could be looking at a bottom half team in attendance.
