It is time to revisit Sandy Alderson’s long standing policy that pay roll is tied to attendance.
In 2014, the Mets drew 596,707 fans through 21 home dates, for an average of 28,415 per game.
Tuesday evening’s game against the Cardinals marked the Mets’ 21st home game this season. They’ve drawn 625,384 fans thus far, for an average of 29,780 per game. That’s a modest increase of 1,365 per game over last season.
Off-season ticket sales were up, therefore this slight uptick was expected.
School is still in session, so weekend attendance is still typically higher than weeknights.
