Attendance to Date: 12.5% Over 2011

[Pedro Cerrano]

I was there tonight in the discounted seats and it was packed. The energy was alive and well and it felt AWESOME. It sure felt like there were more than 23k there tonight....the only large gobs of noticeable empty seats were down the right field line in the upper deck.

Currently, an 18.8%, and almost 292,000, increase in attendance.

Looked like a pretty respectable crowd tonight, far better than I could ever expect for a series against Tampa Bay. Mostly on the lower level though, as the upper deck, especially in left, looked pretty empty.

Upper deck around home plate was relatively full tonight. I was up in sec 328. I never saw or heard the attendance but going in I was hoping for 30,000. I knew once everyone got in and situated we were around 25,000. I'll take it. I'm guessing the discounted seats probably put an extra 5-6 thousand in the stands. I hope they find a way to discount the final homestand of the year as well. At least the Tor series.

Crowd was plenty into it last night. Would have been nice to have been full, but there is no way anyone could complain about the spirit and loudness of the crowd.

Yesterday was home game no. 71. The 71st game last year was a make-up game against the Yankees that had a paid attendance of 33,000+ but the actual attendance was much lower. I haven't figured out where the O's are going to account for any fans who had tickets to the Toronto rain out who don't use their rain checks.

In 2011 the O's only topped 30,000 one more time after Game 71, and had three crowds under 15,000 in games 72-74 (against Tampa, by the way). But, they had one more gate than this year, thanks to the Toronto rain out this year. I'm sure the O's will outdraw 2011 the rest of the way despite having one less game to do it in.

As I said before, you also have people who will buy tickets that weren't going to do so before because they get two games for one admission price. If there is any negative effect from the rain-out, I think it will be minimal, if any.

From watching on TV, it looked like there was MUCH more people there then the announced attendance.

The crowd was in the lower deck/outfield.

Great crowd last night. Plenty of reasons to be loud and we were.

[SpringBarb]

There was an awesome crowd last night, but I was surprised by the large numbers who left in the 8th inning. Enjoyed watching the end of the Red Sox-Yankees game on the tvs in Dempsey's from Eutaw Street--good-sized crowd hung out to see what happened. Absolutely electric.

26,026 for game 2 of the Tampa series. It will be interesting to see how the day game tomorrow draws compared to the White Sox game a couple of weeks ago. I'd hope they can muster 17-18,000 for this game.

[Brendan25]

I have a bad feeling about this game. wouldn't be suprised if it was 12k

[Frobby]

25,130 today, and just over 75,000 for the series. Total attendance stands at 1,893,461 with six home dates remaining (one of which is a single admission doubleheader). If the O's really strech it, they could get to 2.1 million in those last six dates. I'm pretty confident they will get to 2.075 mm at a minimum.

The Brooks game is almost sold out on Saturday. Friday's Red Sox game is picking up and is now in the upper twenties and will hit thirty soon . Sunday is starting to pick up and is getting close to the middle or above twenties. The promotion for the Blue Jays games should get them above twenty for each game. People are starting to buy tickets for the other Red Sox games besides the Brooks one, So if they get around 70,000 for the Blue Jays and around 110,000 for the Red Sox,attendance will go over 2 million.
