Looks like the fans aren't coming out anymore. Was there 22,000 at the game yesterday? Pretty sad for a Friday night game with awesome weather. On TV it looked like one of the emptiest home games ever. My family had season tickets for 25+ years during the hay days of the late 70's into the 80's and up until the '04 season. After attending 100's of home games I became somewhat decent at estimating attendance just by scanning the stadium. Back in those days it was common to have ~40,000 per game. I'm not sure how much longer a team can remain financially viable without more fans in attendance. Corporate sponsorships can only go so far. But on a positive note the team did play a smidgen better last night even though the result was a loss.
