[Ohtaniland]

It is obviously because of Magic Johnson.

They are offering 1/2 off tickets for parole officers.

[The God of Runs]

They do have more seats in their stadium.

If my team was playing like theirs, I'D DRESS UP AS HELLO KITTY G'DAMMIT AND SING THE HELLO KITTY NATIONAL ANTHEM ON LIVE TV (not even sure if they have one, if not I'd write one).

[Guest]

I'm too busy shaking my head at Arte to care if he's shaking his head at the Doyers.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Moire likely, they pay the monthly parole fees for season ticket holders.

There are 16 million people in the greater LA area. that's how.

LA bandwagonned the Angels while the Dodgers sucked. Now that the Dodgers don't suck, Arte's getting a lesson that when it comes right down to it, the vast majority of fans that are true Angels fans are from Orange County, not Los Angeles, despite what he changes his name to.

Win, and they will come. Suck when there's a better option around and the stadium is vacant, despite the Buttercup song.

Reasons the Dodgers' attendance has increased so dramatically:

 

1. Get out of jail free card with every family four pack.

 

2. Free box seat to anyone on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.

 

3. Free Dodger Dog and large soda to any fan wearing the opposing team's gear who makes it into the stadium without being assaulted.

 

4. $500 cash prize for the best tattoo on Street Gang Night at the stadium.

Baseball is cyclical.  You are not going to have every season where the Angels have a better record than the Dodgers.  You have these years so that you can enjoy the good ones.

[fan_since79]

They hit better, pitch better, field better, and run the bases better.

 

Oh, and they win a lot of games.

[nando714]

They're a winning club

We're not

Second fiddle again for a while

[YouthofToday]

The Dodgers should always be #1 in attendance because they have a massive stadium in the second largest market in the country.

They are also McCourtless

[2002_halos_II]

Sucks to be Arte right now.

[austin724]

There will come a time in the near future where the Dodgers will suck and the Angels will be good again.  This is baseball people.  If you don't like it go watch football.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Lol

Kinda hard for the Dodgers to suck with a $250M Payroll. They can throw money and mask whatever problems they have.

[disarcina]

as predicted, Dodgers franchise has come roaring back from the McCourt dead ball era.

 

when you win in LA  (or anywhere, but S. Cal seems to be top of the list of fickle fans) fans fill the stands.

 

today's LA Times headline has Dodgers looking at breaking 4 million in attendance this season.

 

And, yes, Dodger Stadium holds something like 10,000 more seats than Angels Stadium  -- but that's not what's making the difference this year.

 

Expect lots of empty seats in Anaheim the rest of August and September...........

And October.

I am sure Arte still has a lot of money and no debt.  This has been a horrible season but it can quickly change next year.

They approach free agents the way the Yankees do. If they sign one who doesn't work out, just go on to the next one.
