Might Section 148 be kind of like Room 101 in Orwell's "1984"? A torture chamber for fans of good baseball broiling in the summer heat as they watch the implosion of an iconic franchise.
Fans are spending their money on other things than cardinal baseball why?

For me we have to travel a minimum 2 hours to see them in New York and over 3 hours to see them in Boston. It’s 18 hours to STL to see them at Busch. The current state of the franchise does not motivate me to make those commitments.Kentucky kid wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 17:08 pm They have become just like most owners keeping the money for themselves than paying for top talent The fans will pay for entertainment and cardinals baseball is not it anymore.
I ended up cancelling Extra Inmings in 2024 (I do get MLBTV through my cell plan). I tend to be watching as much of the Minor League games as I am the Major League ones. Some nights I have a game from the Minors and the Cardinals on at the same time.

Watching the Cardinals hit is more boring than watching grass grow, and takes a lot more time to show results.

I don’t go to games because to me it’s not a good or even ok value for the money spent.
$ 10 hot dogs and $ 14 beers plus mediocre baseball is not a big draw - at least for me.

Someone said said they have been watching minor league more than majors and I have to.It is entertaining because they are giving their all to make it to majors it has been fun watching.
