Second-lowest non-COVID crowd in Busch III history.

Bill, Bill, Mo… at least you saved some money, eh?

Im sure they accounted for lower attendance. All they care about is tickets sold anyway.

No way they expected it to be this bad.

H*ll no they didn't. Why do you think they refused to dump every vet they could. They'd never admit to a full rebuild knowing what it would do to an already frustrated fanbase But, once again, due to horrible talent assessment and a nincompoop for a manager, another collapse is in the works for the 3rd year in a row.

Team went from very close to a +100 run differential to negative in just over a month. Might be some kind of record. lol

Starting pitching turning to chit didn't help either. And I'd be surprised if more than 12k were in there tonight.

Exactly. And they don’t seem to understand that by not picking a lane, they frustrated the fanbase even more.

The Marlins probably felt right at home with that crowd.

Exactly this. Hard to look forward to something that is up in the air.

Someone posted recently on a GDT that they were at the game on complimentary tickets of the Cardinals...they must be really desperate to have people in the stands. Or maybe they are a friend of Mo-ran

Not making excuses because the product sucks. But who in their right mind is going to a game in this Saudi Arabian heat? Add in Monday night,Marlins and the previously mentioned suck and I’m surprised there were 57 people there.

Isn't that what should happen? Voting with your wallet?

Haters should be ecstatic...and yet

There are several complimentary tickets given out for games. I know Wayne Hagin used to give tickets away when he was doing play-by-play.

In Saudi Arabia it's a dry heat, not like the St. Louis swelter box. :?

It would be interesting to get a picture of the stadium from Mo's first day on the job (hired on 10/3/2007, so it would be opening day 2008) versus what it will look like 9/28.

I'm pretty sure it's a stark difference.
