The Yankee announcers mentioned there were only like 17,000 attendees for that game. Against the Sox no less. Florida is football country unfortunately. How could hat be though? The Rays are still in contention.
Part of it is the economy here is weak right now. The crowd was sparse last night, 20k, and half were Sox fans. Usually these prime games are packed, even if they are rooting for the other team. We are still averaging higher attendence numbers they havn't seen since the inaugural season.
The big thing here is so many other things to do.
