“Through 65 home games, the Cardinals have generated a total attendance of 1,873,875, based on the metric of tickets sold. Right now, that’s an average attendance of around 28,829. If that pace remains similar through the regular season’s end, the Cardinals are on pace for a season attendance of roughly 2,335,137.”
He also explained how this year’s trend would represent a historic low point for the franchise.
“That would mark the team’s lowest for a non-pandemic-restricted season since 1995, when the Cardinals drew a season attendance of 1,756,727. That season? The Cardinals only played 72 home games due to MLB scheduling arrangements out of a players’ strike and would have paced for around 1,976,318 in attendance.”

You should be happy and applaud this

Yes…

There seems to be a lot of focus on dwindling attendance….

For those who desire a new direction for the club it’s the best news they can receive..

These owners have been asleep at the wheel for years

Oh I get it. Boycott the lousy .500 team that’s going through a transition year to allow younger players to mature - in order to show utter disgust.

It’s not a boycott….it’s a personal judgement that the entertainment value is less than the cost.

Not to pry, but how many other bad products do you buy?

How do you define “bad”, when half the ML teams have a worse record? And the Cards are only a few games behind in the wild card race. By the way, how did you like that home run by Church? And that home run by Contreras?

Bloom can only do what Dewitt lets him do. Is he going to raise payroll or keep it the same or lower it? I think Dewitt will go cheap but we will see. I’m glad mo is going and think bloom can do a good job but I’m not some naive optimist that thinks he can work miracles if Dewitt goes cheap. You know more about cards front office than anyone here are they going to go cheap or cheaper again or spend?

Some moves don’t require a huge increase in payroll.
Like trading for a major leaguer in his pre-arbitration or arbitration years. But some posters only look at FA dollars
spent as a measure of commitment by the organization.

And??

Agree. What’s the point?

The point, I believe, Cranny, is that ownership has run a first line franchise into the freaking ground in a stunningly short period of time.
Something like that.

Exactly

This was always the ONLY way BDWJr was going to make major changes.
