September 3, 200818 yr Link “I was way off,” Marlins reliever Joe Nelson joked. “I had predicted 418.” This is crazy. When are they going to get rid of baseball in Miami?
September 3, 200818 yr ^ Well just as bad for the Rays in Tampa. Best record in baseball and they can't draw more than 21,000 fans a game.

September 3, 200818 yr And yet some people say teams like the Mets and Cubs have the worst fans..... If you have no fans, they can't really be qualified as "best" or "worst," can they?
September 3, 200818 yr I think they have to contract this team. Heck, put a team in Oklahoma City. Why not?
September 3, 200818 yr Author How much money would they lose if they had under 1000 fans for their last 10 or so home games?
September 3, 200818 yr You would almost think Rachel Phelps was running the club, but she wanted to move the Indians TO Miami. Where next?
September 4, 200818 yr I have been to 2 games in Tropicana Field. The first game was against the Ranger's and it was so pathetic that I could hear a heckler behind home plate trashing every player on the Ranger's team - and I was in the first row of behind the left centerfield fence. I actually felt like I had a chance to catch a homerun ball because there was only 50 people sitting out there. The second game was against the Yankees and there was about 44,000 people at that game. That was a great atmosphere, and the Yankees lost, which was trully awesome. Its sad that a city of that size can't halfway fill the stadium up. As far as Miami, I don't know what their problems are. That is a big city.

September 4, 200818 yr The Yankees farm club is in Tampa so that probably helped get people there. The bigger reason is that half of Florida's population is retired NYC transplants.
