Rainy and cold weather. Not lack of a good team, just lack of good weather.

If Cincinnati and Milwaukee can get over 20000 for games 2 and 3 there's no excuse for Baltimore

Most of the "volume" of the crowd comes from walk-ups on a gorgeous summer afternoon/evening, unless the game is a "Big Deal" for some reason (Opening Day, etc.)

Until the weather improves or the O's hold down first place in the East for a month, we won't see too many folks at the yard unfortunately.

The weather has been brutal. Not looking good this weekend either. Twins not a good draw. Season ticket sales are down from last year. They keep winning and stay in first then people will come Ray.

The buzz in the town for the Orioles seemed down this year.

Did you not see the near constant rain and cold of the last two days?

Who cares what other teams drew in? Why should we ever care what other teams are doing at the gate? The weather has been awful and inconsistent all week long. It's the middle of a week, the first week back to school after spring break, and the Twins are not interesting or a draw for the average fan. You can say the same for most of the AL Central teams, hence why the White Sox never draw fans here unless it's a weekend series.

Well for starters Milwaukee has a roof and they played the Giants, a team whose fans are everywhere/ travel well.

I know several people who had tickets to Tuesday / Thursday's games but traded them in for later dates. Nobody is really eager to sit in the stands with temps in the 40s. Even OD was getting chilly by the end of the game when the wind picked up.

I was shocked to see a packed house for the Nationals last night, and they had the same weather forecast.

It was their home opener.

It was their home opener.

That would explain, that makes sense now.

The ONLY excuse is mid-week games are difficult for families and working folk. The Ravens draw despite the weather. Weather is an excuse for weak fans to be bandwagoners.

WE ARE BALTIMORE. Tough, blue collar and hardworking and hard partying. BTW, On April 5 and 6 2000, the Orioles drew 33K and 35K on Tuesday and Wednesday games against Cleveland.

I think most Orioles fans, are taking a wait and see approach to this team. The off season publicity wasn't good. Outside of rabid fan blogs and message boards, Alvarez, Trumbo and Gallardo didn't set off a frenzy of good feeling. Without regard to the their quality, most fans didn't really know these guys.

We all go to 25+ games a year, not including Bowie and Frederick, but many fans only go to a few unless there's already excitement.

Are you really trying to compare 8 home games vs 81 home games? Really?

You do realize that prior to the mid to late 80's, the Orioles had trouble drawing fans out when they were the best team in baseball. It was not uncommon to have crowds with less people than what the Orioles had the last two nights. Lets not act like Orioles fans have always shown up to the park in April, because outside of the first few years at Camden Yards, April is a bad time to go to the park for a multitude of reasons. The NFL also is an irrelevant argument, and so is what happened 16 years ago.
