Attendance

[Irrelevant Dude]

I was at today's game and was somewhat surprised by the number of empty seats. Yes, I have come to expect that over the past few years, but with the team playing well I am surprised that attendance hasn't bounced back more quickly. Especially on a warm Sunday afternoon in May, what is holding people back? StubHub sales seem to reflect the same sluggish demand, with even marquee weekend games selling at a loss. What do you think it will take for us to see Wrigley packed on a consistent basis again?

The announced attendance was 36,300. There was a looming threat of rain that was suppose to hit around game time and the Cubs were in a competing time slot with Game 1 of the Blackhawks.

 

The hype train is in full effect and attendance will be fine.

Yeah, I think the sluggish market so far has been a reflection of some early skepticism about how good they are and the fact that it's April and May weather. And it's been kind of a crappy May, too.

 

Hype is picking up tho.

Wait till after Memorial Day and the kids are out of school. Tix will be hard to come by.
