So are you saying that next season, the 14K and 18K crowds of the last two nights will seem like good crowds, by comparison?
Remember when we were all freaking out over a new franchise low attendance - back on April 9 - of 14,195?
First three nights of the Nationals series:
Monday: 13,843
Tuesday: 14,273
Wednesday: 16,038
Take another look at Monday night. That was a new franchise low attendance but, because no one's watching, no one's watching. If you see what I mean. To be fair, the Pirates drew, in the preceding home series, crowds of 20k or better. But the division-leading Reds before them posted over 16k only once, and then only just.
You can get the full run down
here. There's some weirdness in there, including the fact that the Royals (over 30k for a mid-week game) were a bigger draw than the Cubs, Cards, Brewers, Red and Mets. Maybe people thought that was a team the Astros might actually beat...
