Check the attendance numbers for the Rays and A's.. :holeup:

[Sauce Dab]

1. The Rays play in South Florida and they mostly care about football, hell, HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL, more than baseball. There's sunshine and 100 things to do besides watch baseball.

2. The Oakland A's are hamstrung by the San Francisco Giants who are making it impossible for the A's to move to San Jose and a better stadium. Plus the Coliseum is an awful place to watch baseball.

3. It's the NBA and NHL playoffs. I'm sure that contributed a little.

Since when was Tampa in South Florida

who the fukk would wanna watch baseball live

Rays aren't in South Florida. They're up in Tampa, which is a top ten city for hockey attendance of all things. The problem for the Rays is the stadium. The Trop is a horrible place to be, and in Tampa traffic (which is awful) can be an hour drive away from Tampa proper.

It's right outside of St. Pete, which is Tampa's smaller, more laid back, more I guess...bohemian cousin. St. Pete is a chill arts and culture city. The team needs a move to Downtown Tampa or Downtown Orlando to prosper. No amount of success will fix their location issue. Just like the Panthers.

The south could give a fukk about professional baseball.

The Atlanta Braves couldn't even sell out World Series games in the 90s.

My bad. I forgot how close it was to Tallahassee.
Tampa might as well be annexed by Georgia.

To many things to do than sit your ass down and watch a boring baseball game

Even though they watch it at home?

Jays 5th in home attendance

Dodgers averaging almost 3x the Rays

I'd cop monthly passes for $20

Bring the kids there on a good afternoon and chill and watch a game

Did you miss the part about the Lightning being a top ten city in NHL attendance, because I'm sure before you knew that you'd say the south could give a fukk about hockey, too. An hour away Orlando is the #2 team in soccer attendance. Meanwhile the Bucs are down at the bottom of NFL attendance despite an upswing, winning season while the Magic are perfectly in the middle of the league ahead of playoff teams despite a god awful season with nothing to even be excited about moving forward.

So Central Florida is a Hockey, Soccer, and Basketball area but baseball is a no hoper?

The area is all about accessible entertainment, and the Lightning, Orlando City Soccer, and Magic all have their venues smack dab in the middle of their respective city centers. Rays and Bucs are out of the way and are suffering for it.

It's just as close to Tally as it is to Miami. Stop talking shyt you don't know about

There's a large Latino section of the south that loves soccer. They ain't all Cubans and Dominicans.

As far as hockey is concerned, it's a 2 hour game and the Lightning average 19,000 fans to the Rays averaging 15,000.

Really not that big of a difference.
Think breh.

 

[the next guy]

Rays never drew, stupid market to start a baseball team in. the A's have 1 exciting player, and are stuck in an old stadium. Lew Wolff died so they have a chance to do something soon

Lew Wolff is alive breh

Montreal should get a team

I was going to respond to all the wrong shyt you managed here in just a few sentences, but you just compared crowd sizes across sports with no regard for venue size

So I hope you enjoy your next South Florida vacation in exotic Tampa and tropical Orlando

What does venue size have to do with raw attendance?

Is that a restaurant down there by the first base line? That's the last place I would want my back turned during a baseball game.
