Angels brace for attendance below 3 million for first time since 2002

[halobob]

The numbers here show differently Lou:

Are you looking at average over all of last year?  I'm comparing through same number of games played so far this season as last season.

Wow, Angels attendance down almost 12% from last season that's gotta hurt.

Sadly they don't care because supposedly revenues are the same or higher by gouging Angels fans who want to attend games.  

[Jay]

And not surprisingly, KCR is through the roof.

[halobob]

halobob - did you go to southern cal by any chance?

Only way I would've gone there is if I was guaranteed a bj by the song girl of my choice morning, noon, and night everyday.  

 

Last time I was on (or near, not sure if Galen is considered on campus or not) USC campus was for the SDSU vs USC bball game (wife went to SDSU).  I was hungover as **** having just gotten home from Vegas and game was Sunday night.  Saw courtside tix available on stubhub for $50 each, couldn't pass that up.  Seats were infront of their student section.  They sure didn't take kindly to me in my SDSU jersey and UCLA hat.

Well they don't necessarily play for the people in the stands said one former MLB All Star.

[Jay]

I'm sure attendance will improve when the minimum wage is increased.

Using your link, 8 of the top 10 draws last year are down this season.   It will be interesting to see if summer and the West coast trips from the beasts from the East drive the numbers up as the season wears on.

That and school will be off soon.

[Jay]

And the CALZONE sign is sure to draw some additional fans

This doesn't matter because these numbers are only comparing times when school was in session.  So theoretically both the 2014 and 2015 numbers will both be rising on the chart once school gets out which will still leave a negative attendance unless their school off times of this year outsell their school off times of last year.

7 for sure but we leave early according to reports. Edited June 5, 2015 by CALZONE

Ha. That's awesome.    I know you hate southern cal, btw

[gotbeer]

OK.  So who here is Bill Shaikin?  Or is he just trolling us?

 

Angels' streak of 3-million-ticket years could be in jeopardy

[Lou]

I like Shaikin

 

quite a bit, in fact

[ELEVEN]

Dude stop taking notes! Plus my VW Touareg is a decent size, it's the same vehicle as a Cayenne or Audi Q7. Pulls 7700 pounds.

Wow. You need to mix in a salad.

[Jay]

That's pretty impressive though I had to go look that up.  Hard to believe a Toureg is rated to tow 7700 lbs.

[Ohtaniland]

Fans are like......"What? It's June and we are chasing a team who's best player is 5'2"?

Tonight you can find seats in the 400s (our 500s) in between 3rd and home for 18 a pop for the Yankee game tonight

Seems pretty cheap for some decent seats in the upper view and being in new york

Claude you will need a very long sentence with CALZONE in it, if we are ever gonna see 3 million fans again.

[ELEVEN]

I get the first Q or X.

[Lou]

i bet Calzone is the only person here who has gone to more than 3 or 4 games this year
