There are probably some hardcore fans who get to just about all the home games, but I think there’s a lot of selling, lots of turnover, it’s a cool event to go to… maybe twice a year. I know people with Jazz season tix who might attend 1/3 of the games, maybe even less.
Like with the proposed MLB team in Utah, you’re counting on lots and lots of people more casually showing up, maybe for business or to impress their third cousins from Idaho, or whatever.
I’d really like to meet a MLB super-duper fan who goes to every one of the 81 home games, for, let’s say, the Reds. The only people I know who have that much time on their hands are participants in the criminal justice system.
Hello, Ma-ake, nice to meet you. There are sick-o people like me out there.
Signed – season ticket holder for the Nationals for five years [going to every game but those where work interfered] where the team didn’t break 80 wins for all but one of those seasons, and also go to 41 hockey games under a season ticket plan.
Actually, I watch a ton of baseball, myself, just laying around on the couch. Maybe close to triple digit games a year. It’s a seductive game.
People watch all kinds of stuff on TV, have a wide variety of past times. Compared to watching the Kardashians or any number of other options, watching a lot of baseball games is entirely honorable.
(Hopefully I didn’t alienate any Kardashian addicts. But what the actual hell is up with Robert, Jr? And Courtney… come on! Lol)
Kind of small-brotherish to cheer for whoever they’re playing in women’s soccer. But that’s just me. Easier to just ignore. No one’s bringing the soccer smack to me.
