That’s on you Moe. I haven’t seen Busch this empty for decades.
Why does that bother you? What impact does it have on your life?
Don’t you enjoy games more when the stadium is full and the fans are pumped, compared to an empty energy less stadium?
Nope. I can have better seats at less cost, no waiting for bathrooms or concessions.

Nice series win against the NL East leading Mets, and a good start to the series against the Pirates. The team is putting out good effort, even when there are less fans there to cheer them on.
Too bad, because it's not the players' fault.
Whose fault is it?

Why post about anything then?
What impact does anything discussed here have on anybody’s life?

It's just sad, i watched the box series of the 2011 world series recently and Busch stadium was like a different planet compared to what it is now. I certainly understand its a world series. But looking at the stadium now you'd never have guessed there used to be that kind of electricity surrounding that field
Too bad the existing players have to play with less support from the stands.
Too bad the fans have had to watch several years of sub-par players, on field management, and front office intelligence
Actually, some players have done fine. Didn't the Cards have a winning season in 2024?
Some players doing fine, and the team just cracking .500 isn't exciting at all.

Why do you think Fans aren’t showing up to Busch?
Because there were no shiny new toys secured over the off season. Or changes made in the front or with the manager. But again, the existing players are really playing well at home and it's too bad more fans aren't there to cheer them on. It's not their fault.
Earlier this season you gave your usual reasons:
“School night”
“Cool weather”
“People aren’t vacationing yet”
I believe the biggest reason is that many fans are tired of lining DeWitt’s wallet with their hard-earned money.

Name one "star" player on this team that people would pay to go see play.
That's the real problem...people would stay to watch Big Mac or Albert bat, even if the team sucked...but DeTwit and Mo-ran have made it clear, they are not trying to win a championship...and many fans are staying home.

Winning is of course at the top of the list. But watching guys like Donovan, Winn, Scott, Helsley, Contreras, etc. can sure be fun.

I would go to games but the ticket prices went crazy the last few years. Used to be able to get tickets for a few bucks each off StubHub, but now they're rarely very cheap and the fees are crazy. I was going to buy some tickets a couple weeks ago for $17 each in a section I liked, but when I went to check out they wanted $14 per ticket in fees, it was crazy.
Use Tick Pick there are no fees

So that's the standard now, 83 wins?
I remember when BDWJr did everything he could to bring in all star caliber players and staff the front office w/a winner (Walt) and a Hall of fame Manager (TLR) and shot for World Series titles.
And those "shiny things" you mock are called quality players.
Too bad Dewitt is too cheap to bring them in anymore.

Dont they just bake their fees into the price you see? Not added at a checkout, but still have fees?

Apparently fans are supposed to be content with a team that won 83 games last year?... players on this roster aren't going to fill the stands...
