The true LULZ is that you can buy $4 tickets on StubHub to most ballparks around the country. MLB is going to be addressing that if I'm not mistaken.

But let's not let facts get in the way of some good ol' Marlins bashing.

For the Dodgers on a Friday night in the summer? OK.

I think for 3.50, even a poor Miami family can afford to take the kids,no?

Now this would help the Marlins IMO.

Marlins World Championships: Two

Rockies World Championships: Zero


Is Miami's lack of attendance an ownership issue or a commentary on the South Florida sports fan?

How about the Marlins playing in an open air football stadium for 19 years?

Baseball succeeding in South Florida has been an uphill climb from the get go.

Ahh, yes. The stadium excuse once again.

Let's see how attendance is next year after the Marlins fleeced the taxpayers to pay for a stadium in a market with an "uphill climb."

How was the Heat attendance this year? How about even before Lebron arrived there?

They used to be a very hard ticket. The last 10-15 years that has sure changed. Dolphins are another team with horrible ownership.I guess it is championship contender or nothing in Miami.

I'm not buying the excuse that it's a bad sports town. It's bad for the Marlins. It doesn't seem to be that bad for other professional sports teams.

The Dolphins still had average attendance (versus the rest of the league) prior to last season. Even starting 0-7 last season, they managed to finish higher than the Bengals in home attendance percentage.
 
LOL

There must be a lot of people dressed up as empty seats in the lower bowl at regular season Heat games.

The Dolphins are practically giving away season tickets.

The Panthers? LOL.

Thats not saying much for the Dolphins, Cincinnati is a bottom-5 market. Hard to see it getting better the next 1-2 years with the direction of ownership.
 
Holy fuck everyone knows what the "tickets sold" statistics say.

Corporations buying tickets but no one going to the games.

Corporations gobbling up tickets + empty seats = shitty sports town.

The Dolphins are the biggest draw in Miami.

Pre-Lebron it wasn't even close.

Miami: A shitty sports town with a NOT SHITTY baseball team.

Miami: A sports market for corporations who want to purchase worthless seats.
