So the averaged 30k per game.  Mmmhmm.

Maybe put a better product on the field?

A final devastating blow to Arturo.  He’ll never recover from this.

And stop having giveaways that only  goes to the first 25000 fans. I guess they knew that was going to happen so they didn't have to spend more money to make 40k of those items.

This is a nice parting gift to Arte and a welcome gift to whomever takes over.

You know what you have to do. You fuck.

Have any of you looked at the economy post covid?  Most fans are not the elite, but pick and choose carefully how they spend their money. Maybe cut back the number of games they attend. Especially with a team out of contention for months. They did really well considering all factors to average 30,000. And the economy will be worse next year. Despite what the billionaires interested  in buying the team are are doing in their bubble.

Sponsors usually pay for those. (Mike Trout T-shirt night, brought to you by ____) etc.

If the Angels are winning the stadium will be full regardless of the economy.

Did anyone check L.A. gas prices this morning, Oct. 3? $6.47 a gallon. And historically bad inflation, which will be getting worse. As will many things worldwide.

Going to games is a fun, enjoyable pastime. But it can eat up a chunk of shrinking disposable income for a percentage of fans. But if the team is fun to watch and competitive there is a pleasure quotient that provides emotional value. Which can be important in the overall balance of life. Same with other entertainment choices. And a team has to be appealing enough to those carefully budgeting their dollars. 

I think the Angels hot streak at the end of the season is important going into next year. Especially if they continue it the last three games. Ending with an unbeaten streak or close to one is as positive a spin as can be possible under the circumstances.  There is something called recency bias, which overrides opinions and thoughts formed  earlier. So the narrative going forward can be about an emerging young group surrounded by star veterans. Who potentially will be healthy and still in their prime. Buying tickets for next year requires emotional commitment, which justifies spending money if it's an option.

The fans should be applauded for supporting this lousy product.
