Well naturally the low attendance was due to the opponents, in this case STL. Had it been the Rockies, they would surely have sold out.rockondlouie wrote: ↑24 Feb 2026 08:55 am Astros' drew 2,598 for their home spring game vs the Cardinals

Ha. My attempt at humor.
Yesterday at a quick glance only the Guardians drew less than the Cardinals, 3385 to the Cardinals 3,746 unless I missed one.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑24 Feb 2026 08:58 amWell naturally the low attendance was due to the opponents, in this case STL.

That supports your debate.

In Florida , Disney has tracked that international tourism, especially from Canada has declined sharply. Florida has lost a big chunk of that market throughout the state. Unsure if mlb teams can track that stat but sure in Jupiter and other MLB camp cities, the loss of those tourists has an impact on baseball attendance,
Yep and I'm sure ST sees a dip there too.ramfandan wrote: ↑25 Feb 2026 09:52 amIn Florida , Disney has tracked that international tourism, especially from Canada has declined sharply.

It was an entertainment venue . Hotels, condo rentals, restaurants all take a hit in declining numbers too.
If Disney has less Canadian Visitors it would make sense that baseball teams have lost attendance too.
Don't be concerned about me. What's wrong with pointing out what's wrong? How will it get fixed if not? Just like the mess they are in with televising games. That should have been avoided and taken care of by now. I don't mind paying, if they get it where you can watch without streaming. And for those who will watch it on their phone is just silly in my opinion.BrockFloodMaris wrote: ↑25 Feb 2026 10:13 amI’m genuinely concerned about you, Red. You seem to be focusing on what’s wrong. That’s a risky way to go through the day. Be a Tigger, not an Eeyore. Go Cards!
