Terrible, goldfan. Just awful.

However you want to respond Cranny……this is on BDW. This issue isn’t with just some disgruntled rouge CT posters. A large portion of the Cards fan base who have been there for decades for BDW are staying home.

As I said, goldfan. It’s simply awful. 2 losing seasons this century. Terrible.

It’s a culmination of doing nothing to help the team down the stretch when they had a playoff chances, a last place finish, doing nothing this offseason, and being outwardly arrogant thinking the fan will always be there regardless of all the ineptitude

If it’s so bad, Goldfan, why do you and rat still follow this team? Save yourself the anguish. Move on and come back when they buy a bunch of big time expensive players.

We’re Cardinals fans, not Bill DeWitt/John Mozeliak fans. Considering trying it sometime.

Yeah. You can be a Cardinals fan and not like the owner or the GM.

The owner and POBO have given the Cardinal fans more pleasure than the owners and POBO of most other MLB franchises this century. But you can figure that out yourself.

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.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/hi ... 7c70&ei=10

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.

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.
