I watched a bit of it early, exciting. 

Was the attendance only 7,375?

It looked very sparse so no surprise to me if that is the number. 

Last April, four of the Reds' 8 home games had attendance below 11,000 but the lowest attendance was 9,192.

Let's go back to 2019, pre-COVID. Monday April1 vs Milwaukee the Reds drew in 7,799. They had 5 games below 12,000. 

Bottom line - it's April. It was below 50 and windy on a Monday night. Yes, 7,375 is low but it isn't drastically lower. Clearly losing fans though. Losing team with low expectations. I don't see how the Reds or anyone else should expect much more this year.

I saw an article today that the 7,375 from Monday night is the smallest crowd in the history of Great American Ball Park that opened in 2003.

And the Reds probably still had their ushers checking tickets so that nobody could move down and sit in the prime seats.  smh
