That barely beats the lowest crowd of last year, 9,322 on a Monday night vs. Oakland.   Of course, that was on a sunny day where the game time temperature was 64 degrees.  

I guess with flex plans and very liberal exchange policies, it’s not that easy to draw conclusions about how attendance will be this year from looking at the poorly attended games in early April.  Let’s just say that there are no overt signs of a big attendance bump yet.   
 

I know the Orioles said they had a 70% increase in season ticket sales  but most were 13 game plans  So let's say an extra 6,000  season ticket packages were sold but it would not be a bump of 6,000 tickets per game. Plus you have the flex plans to any game. I know some of the popular giveaways and the Yankee weekend series have sold out most of the lower bowl. Still think a nice increase of around 200,000 to 300,000. Depending on weather and team play.

 

Orioles right now are fifth worst in home attendance, which means nothing .Some teams have played no home games yet. We are ahead of CWS,A's,Rays and Marlins. All teams that draw well at home.

Does this account for early season game averages from 2023?  If not, I wouldn't be shocked if attendance is up in general around the league at year end.

I suspect the weather had something to do with it also. It's been lousy nearly everywhere.

Holliday debut, plus good weather, plus exciting road trip, plus good record.

I'll be a bit alarmed if they don't average 35k fans for this weekend series.

Weather is windy today. Should be a nice crowd tonight. Walk up and college night and t-shirt giveaway and 35,000 is possible but a little ways to go. Saturday and Sunday look like mid or upper 20's unless the Jackson factor. 

Looks like the left field corner will be open for all three games.

24,327 for the Saturday Brewer game. Looks about the same or maybe a little lower. 35,000 a game for the Brewer series is not happening  

Second weekend of the year drew 67 k total last year.   So this will be 10-15 k higher.

    • Yeah. He's still taking decent ABs and getting walks and sprinkling in hits here and there, so overall the comedown hasn't been too harsh. Just want him to keep making hard contact.  He's also gotten hosed on a few strike 3 calls, like everyone else this season. 
    • Gunnar is one pace for a 12 bWAR season and 92 extra base hits currently. I don't think Gunnar sustains this pace, but he's looking like an MVP candidate even if he cools off a bit.
    • The downside of an otherworldly start is the inevitable regression to the mean and the hope is it doesn't come crashing down all at once. Everyone knew Cowser wasn't going to keep up what he was doing and pitchers have been throwing him a lot of breaking balls now. He'll have to make the adjustment and we'll have to live with the inconsistency until he shows he can. 
    • I have some confidence in Webb and Perez. None in Baumann and Ramirez. 
    • No real interest for me in either Pillar or Hicks due to the extremely minimal impact that either is likely to make as the 26th man on the roster.  Hays is getting ready to come back. So there will be no need use for any except for the possibility to take ABs/playing time away from a young player who needs the experience/reps.
    • It's also a bit different having very few guys with options so if you lean hard on a guy, and he has options you can send him down for a fresh arm for a bit. The shuttle bus is much smaller this year and we have a bunch of guys who would be claimed if they were DFA'd. (Not Ramirez).
    • Hello everyone. I wanted to introduce John Eisenberg who is releasing a bunch of his interviews that he did when he was interviewing former players, managers and executives for his book about Orioles history. John reached out and asked how he can get these to Orioles fans and i suggested he join up and post them here. While I know everyone is excited and talking about the Orioles now, this a great opportunity to learn more about the past and ask John any questions that he may have. Welcome to the board John and thanks for sharing your tapes and accounts here at the Hangout.
