April 25, 200719 yr I used to think so only because I'm from here and would like to believe so. But the past couple of years, the majority of people just show every time they open there mouth that they obvioulsy have no clue about the game. The Reds do not sell out, most "fans" are clueless, why would this town be a "good baseball town" like St. Louis, Chicago, Boston?
April 25, 200719 yr They haven't had a decent team in 8 years now, whenever the wild card playoff game was. They had a nice walk up crowd for that Philly series. I think it's like anything else, they start winning, people will show up. Don't the Bengals have a waiting list on season tickets now? Would ANYONE have guessed that about 5 years ago? The White Sox always had "decent attendance" but they start contending and putting a winning team on the field, now they get sell outs for most home games. Would be nice for people to support their team win or lose, but more often than not, it's not the case.
April 25, 200719 yr Author Don't the Bengals have a waiting list on season tickets now? Would ANYONE have guessed that about 5 years ago? The Bengals have always sold out, or almost sold out. Even through the 90's.

Now they weren't the only team to do it, but it inflates your numbers.

I believe with the exception of Boston and St. Louis, the majority of markets are football first these days.

April 25, 200719 yr I would not call Cincinnati a baseball town. I believe with the exception of Boston and St. Louis, the majority of markets are football first these days. Cincinnati use to be a baseball town, but however as I been saying the city has turned into more of a football town. I believe even if the Reds were winning all the time, that we wouldn't be selling out all the time like these other true baseball towns do. Just the whole area even down to highschool has turned into more of a football loving place....

April 25, 200719 yr The Bronx also, don't forget about those Yankee fans, even though I hate the Yankees, they have awsome and loyal fans. I nearly added them but the love is shared with football. The Yankees carry a big national repuation and the market is massive... the Yankees may be more popular nation wide, but the Giants and Jets receive a lot of support. I would not go as far as to say New York is a baseball first town, but it shares the spotlight. NY... Baseball #1 Football #1A (just below but very popular)

April 26, 200719 yr Cincy is a baseball town, in need of a team with solid management....without so...they shouldn't be showing up.
April 26, 200719 yr Leather Pants and what he did to this franchise set the majority of baseball fans in this town back to the stone ages. They don't know the game on talk radio. They don't know the game on the message boards and blogs. And those at the game are the worst of the bunch. It's sad considering the history...
April 26, 200719 yr Cincy is a baseball town, in need of a team with solid management....without so...they shouldn't be showing up. Not anymore and I dont think it ever will be again. The whole area from pros down to the highschool level is a football town now....
April 26, 200719 yr A city as big as Cincy has room for both.....they don't have the room to be a college town though.
