It's obvious that you know nothing about expansion teams...Or the Rays attendance.... We averaged over 30,000 fans during 98...Look it up buddy.
I will look it up. K. Looked it up. In 1999, attendance dropped by 1 million fans, to an average of just over 19,000. Attendance dropped to a low of 13,000 in 2003. From 2001 to 2007, the Devil Rays were ranked 14 out of 14 in AL attendance. This season they skyrocketed to #12. Wow. Impressive.
For comparison, the Diamondbacks, who came into the league the same year, have never been below 25,400 for attendance.
Lets not talk about attendance...Because the attendance of Boston back in the day was simply PATHATIC.
Thats has not always been the case... Fenway park use to be ghost town in the past...Please...Dont make me post the stats and facts
Except that since 1967 they were lower that 7th in attendance TWICE, and less than 20,000 just 5 times. From '67-'82 they finished no lower than 5th in attendance, and then from '86 until now they've been no lower than 6th. All the while having one of the smallest parks in baseball. The only thing "pathatic" here is your spelling.
I love watching battle royals involving "retards"....i don't even care who wins...it's just fun to watch you guys.
Well...The Rays played hard all game and never gave up, as a fan...other than a win, I cant ask for much more. Hats off to Danks and the White Sox, they played a better overall game here in gm 3. Rays 2 Sox 1 Now it's time to relax before work, lay down and enjoy a Red Sox loss. Tonight is the night where the Angels make the magical comeback. No way the White Sox win the next two games...No way.
So you're just going to pretend that you weren't made to look like an idiot about the attendance? That's cool I guess.
I'll post it, dont worry about that because I'm going to show some sad numbers when its all said and done
first of all...i don't give a shit who wins the World Series (although, i think it will be the Dodgers...but whatever)....because i'm a Blue Jays fan. So i'm not picking sides....but after reading most of the posts in this thread...i have come to the conclusion that, TBJF, you need to STFU........you're debating attendance??!!!.....c'mon now. The Rays are a flash in the pan....and will get schooled by whoever they play in the ALCS...bottom line...... but hey, attendance is UP, eh big guy!! :rofl:
he must not have enough coloring books to occupy his time then...because these "Rays threads" frequently pop up in this forum.
You believe in jinxing your team? I been calling for the Rays to make the playoffs all year...I guess I helped them make it this far :beer: 2funny.
lol... I guess your the only "Real" Sports fan in the world. What a tool you are. Dont be upset because your watching other teams play.
