The Rays’ attendance has been awful this year.
Of course, Rays’ attendance has never been great; after averaging over 23,000 fans per game in 2010, the team drew just over 14,000 a game in 2018-2019.
Well, this year that average, thus far, is a mere 8,333. While attendance was intentionally limited early in the season, the stadium has been at full capacity for months, and yet we routinely see only 5-6,000 fans on weeknights.
I love a full stadium as much as any fan, and ideally, I want our exciting, playoff-bound players to hear a roaring crowd.
