    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.

    I think many of you are making a great argument that the new stadium should be able to hold baseball and football.

    And I agree.

    I wrote:

    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?

    https://www.mlb.com/press-release/p...season-with-highest-attendance-in-seven-years

    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.
