65,000 at Baltimore rooting their asses off against the Pats even though their team sucks. Wouldn't happen 3/4hs of the way into the season at a baseball game.

Maybe if the Yankees or Red Sox were in town. I went to a sold out Royals game in August when they were playing the Yankees. But yeah you have a great point.

Cleveland fans said the same once. Don't ever underestimate the capacity for sports owners to fuck an entire region.

when current owner dies, former players and other investors are lined up to buy it. Browns got their team back anyway.

NFL teams play 8 games at home every season.
MLB teams play 81 games at home every season.
If baseball teams played 1/10th as many games as they do now, they too would fill every seat in every stadium every game.
It's a matter of supply, not devotion.

^^^ This is true, especially given how much even nosebleed seats cost at baseball games. It's comparable to some lower-market NFL teams.

true, but in baseball when a guy hits a game winning home run, it doesn't get called back on a flag....
