2014 Attendance Thread

[ShaneDawg85]

Could be people bought tickets for tonight thinking that Ubaldo was probably not getting the job done.

I'll admit to it. I didn't get tickets Tuesday night because I thought it wasn't happening with Ubaldo. I was proudly wrong.

A gain of 106,912 over last year, despite having one fewer home gate. Not spectacular, but decent I suppose. The closing homestand was very strong, as it should have been.

Probably an overestimate, for a couple of reasons. First, the game was on a weeknight, and the resulting twinight DH drew 28,290, some of whom probably used their rain checks from the night before. Others probably used their rain checks later and got counted in a later gate.

Looking at it another way, the 16th ranked season of the last 26.

Attendance was also below 2005 aka the Nats first year when they played in a dilapidated RFK Stadum, and 280,000 below 2004 when the O's had the area to themselves.

Yes.

I know that it is an overestimate, but I had no other way to compute it ....... unless I used an estimate of my own for the missed game, in which case it would have wound up being been an estimate of an estimate.

Yeah; looking at it that way, you can say this is the best turnout since 2002.

I wonder how the variable pricing thing worked out for the Orioles this year. We know attendance was only up by about 4%, but I wonder if ticket revenue increased by more than that.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Huge drop from 2001 to 2002, even though the team was horrible both years. I wonder if a lot of people stuck around for Cal's last season and then bailed.

Also a huge drop from 2005 to 2006. Probably mostly due to DC businesses getting around to cancelling their tickets, and disgust over the finish in 2005 and Palmeiro.

We still haven't completely overcome that drop from 2005 to 2006. Maybe next year.

I'm sure Cal sold quite a few tickets in 2001, but we were still down 200,000 that year compared to 2000.
