OT MLB to PDX: We're talking baseball to PDX

162 games total = 81 home games.
just clarifying since you compared to 41 NBA home games.

 

Yes I’m saying that with so many games (162) there’s no urgency to see a game. They play almost every day. Unless the team is crazy good their attendance isn’t going to be sellout or near sellout every day because they play so many and they play games at 1 on a Tuesday.

 

Correct. I understand your point.
My point was that you are comparing total MLB games to home NBA games. Not apples to apples. But regardless, the amount of home games for both is a significant difference & like I said I agree with your intention.

 

I responded to your GUESS, with FACTS? I never once typed anything about anybody else on here and their experience at ballparks around the league. I told you my experience and that offends you?

 

Which ones do you consider shit holes? I’ve been to good number and they’ve all been pretty awesome (mariners, giants, dodgers, Padres, cubs, white and Red Sox, yanks and Tigers). I know devil rays and royals are shit but are slated to be rebuilt. Pirates, Rockies, Orioles are parks I’d still like to see.

 

And big concerts!

 

Concerts can generate good profit margins! Rockin on the River

 

And American Gladiator contests!

 

Bring in 150 Anarchist and 150 maggots. Let them face off in front of 32K. Hand to Hand combat regardless of sex.

 

Only a matter of time before wrestling and mma does it, if they haven't already.

tremendous fan support - and stated the fact that ratings are UP and MLB fans love their teams. What is your fact that they do not have great fans?

great ballparks - having been to many parks they are almost all great atmospheres (Oakland was in the 90s as I lived there but obviously is no longer).

consistently get solid attendance. this would be even better if/when Oakland is no longer in play.

11 Charts And Data That Dispels The Biggest Myths About Major League Baseball

 

I don’t recall anybody asking for your opinion dog.

 

Don't take it personal, HCP is still stinging after that loss from his favorite team last night and getting bounced out of the playoffs. I do appreciate the FACTS you're bringing, even if it goes against the narrative that some on here like to peddle. The biggest problem though is HCP won't make it past that first chart since he is barely figuring out Affect vs. Effect, next up is There/Their/They're, maybe down the line we can get to Mean vs. Median.

 

Was just looking over my personal rankings after crossing the new Yankee Stadium off my list a couple weeks ago. You've been to a few of my favorites with my top 5 Wrigley, Fenway, Giants, SafeCo and PNC, with Camden right in the mix as well. My bottom 5 were the Coliseum (As), Comisky, Angels, Minute Maid and Tropicana (Rays). I've 18 current ones crossed off so a little over half way there to seeing them all.

 

Now that’s just mean. I mean really mean.

 

I wish I got to old Yankee. The new is corporate BS, that’s actually from a Yankees fan I met there. wrigley and Fenway are in their own category. Giants is hard to beat….but that is my team. I was super impressed with the tigers stadium though….but it’s downtown Detroit and not on the water.

 

I was at Yankee Stadium last August. It's terrific imo.

 

Hard to beat San Francisco. I actually enjoy Seattle too. Fenway just for historical reasons. I went to Dodger stadium last summer again and similar to Fenway, liked for the nostalgia of it. San Diego is great. Colorado was nice too. I went to St Louis a few times, and its nice...the block with the beer garden etc is cool. But outside of that, downtown STL is a dump.

Again, I grew up going to Ricky/McGwire/Canseco games in Oakland. Probably been to a couple hundred games. It was AWESOME. Because the team was great, almost always had great crowds of 30k+, and just loved it every time. I think MLB ballparks are like pizza. Some are worse than others but the worst pizza is good to me. Nit picking apart baseball stadiums seems weird to me. There are no 'dumps'.
