Padres will surpass total attendance for last year
Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY SportsThe Padres have a disappointing 66-73 record, which is the same record as they did last year after 139 games. All those off-season moves didn't make much of a difference when it came to the team's winning percentage, but it sure helped the attendance. As Padres we fans bought the marketing message hook, line and sinker and purchased our tickets early and often. I say "we" but really I mean "you", since I've attended my fewest number of games since probably 1999. The Padres would trade me for you every year if they could, as they should.
