When I was growing up in NYC in the late 1960’s to late 70’s, the Mets and Yankees had roughly the same number of fans. But for the last 35 years the Mets have been destroyed by idiotic management.

The Mets were established in 1962 and inherited most of the former New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers fans, who never would have become Yankees fans. Mets' popularity peaked in 1969 with a World Series championship and continued into the early 1970's with another World Series appearance in 1973. During this time the Yankees dynasty that had begun with the arrival of Babe Ruth in 1920 ended in 1965, and old Yankee Stadium in the dangerous South Bronx was disintegrating, while Shea Stadium, which had opened in 1964, was more modern and more accessible, at least for a while. Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in 1973, and Yankee Stadium was rebuilt in 1976 and the Yankees in the late 1970's won two straight World Series with Reggie, Munson, etc. while the Mets' management became "idiotic" at that same time, trading Tom Seaver and other bad decisions that led to cellar-dwelling Mets teams and Shea Stadium being known as "Grant's Tomb" (for Mets chairman M. Donald Grant). Mets recovered with new ownership in 1980 and from the mid 1980's to early 1990's the Mets again were more popular than the Yankees, with the Mets winning their second World Series in 1986 while the Yankees were in a down cycle during the Mattingly era from 1982 until 1994. However, since 1996 with their first World Series championship of the Jeter, Rivera, et. al. era, the Yankees have been undoubtedly more successful and more popular than the Mets.

@@SirManfly The modern "retro" stadium boom began with the opening of Camden Yards in Baltimore in April 1992. That was over 32 years ago, and technology has advanced markedly since them. For example, how many people purchased game tickets in 1992 on a cell phone or used their phone to scan their ticket at the gate? Most of the 60's and early 70's "cookie cutter" stadiums began being demolished in the late 1990's and early 2000's, after a little over 30 years of use. Seattle's Kingdome (1976-2000) lasted less than 24 years. Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium, which opened in 1965, met its demolition shortly after the 1996 Olympics. Since then, both the Braves and Falcons have replaced the stadiums that they moved into after vacating Fulton County Stadium with even newer facilities.

I suspect a lot of these attendance problems are because inflation is high because of the pandemic, and tickets are too expensive. The players have all gotten greedy, so fans have to pay more to stroke their egos. If they had salary caps in baseball and cheaper tickets, I imagine a lot of these issues could be circumvented.

How many fans are actually in the seats for A's games? Looks like less than 1,000 most of the time. I guess they go by total number of tickets sold, which is fair since those people pay for the seats and the A's get the money whether those fans show up or not. Also, how many free tickets do they give away....? Would be nice to have students attend games for free or others who may not be able to afford tickets. At least that would show a little goodwill on the part of Fisher.

I think the Cleveland number is inflated with the SRO monthly seat sale. You pay $80 for month and can get into stadium to sit at the bar or in the SRO spots. I think they sell once and count as attended, even if they don't go, every game for that month. They are popular tickets and the team has to cap the number available. The team is hiding the decline from the name change.

Think of it this way, FAIR DEAL and you draw more. Either that or win and fact is not every team can do that. Some have to lose. Fair deal means fair prices and stadiums in all major sports won't give fans a fair deal whether they win or not. Baseball teams now even jack up prices further if it is a game with a promotion attached. So they are additionally seeking compensation for the crummy bobbleheads and other promotional souvenirs people are going to sell on Ebay or other sites. I use to go to Royals games in KC and I always liked the location of their stadium. It has since even been remodeled. Putting a stadium downtown does what? It brings people to the businesses, restaurants, and stuff located in downtown. It also brings people to more congested areas for an increase in traffic issues encountered, parking issues encountered with more parking garages there to rip off fans, more crime is located downtown - muggings, purse snatching, etc. The motive for putting stadiums downtown is not for fans but rather business establishments. Isn't getting ripped off (prices) inside the stadium enough? Stumble out tipsey and head to another Bar establishment downtown that serves booze? THEY WANT YOUR 💰 NOT YOU!!!!

Two things stopped me watching Baseball completely - (1) Large number of foreign players (2) Politics in sports in general. I used to spend 1-2 hours per day watching sports in 1990s. In 2023-2024 I have spent not even an hour watching sports.

Play lousy baseball, watch millionaire players dogging it on the field, charge an arm and a leg for tickets, food, and parking, and get insulted by team owner/management. Then wonder why actual attendance keeps declining. On top of that have working class taxpayers build new stadiums for billionaires!

The Marlins will probably be relocating, and if the Rays don't build their new stadium in Tampa, they will be moving too, eventually. Or if the Rays stadium deal falls through, like many believe, they will relocate for sure.

I'm a Canadian and Jays fan too, and I highly doubt Montreal will get another MLB team, though they were my fav growing up.

@@HighpointerGeocacher I don't think Manfred / MLB owners want another team in Canada. They're currently focused on Vegas, SLC, and Nashville, and maybe Charlotte if Nashville doesn't work out. I think Portland would get a team before a Canadian city would. Plus, the Jays are popular throughout the country and have great TV ratings, merchandise sales, etc. coast to coast. Again, just trying to be objective as I'd love to see a team return to Montreal. Vancouver would be great too if Montreal isn't possible.

Canada should have their OWN pro baseball league instead. Force the Blue Jays out and make them form the Canadian Baseball League. That way Cities like Montreal Calgary Edmonton Winnipeg Saskatoon can actually have teams instead of having nothing at all. Japan Korea and Taiwan would never share a baseball league with each other. Why does the US and Canada have to share?

@@michaelmarkowski204 The Charlotte metropolitan area is currently more populous than at least seven metropolitan areas with MLB teams. It passed St. Louis in 2023 and Baltimore in 2024.

The team in Cleveland needs to restore the name Cleveland Indians. If I lived in the Cleveland area, I would refuse to go to games at Progressive Field unless the team restored its original name. I attended a Diamondbacks game vs. the Cleveland team at Chase Field last year, and it attracted many fans of the Cleveland team who were wearing old Cleveland Indians attire, including hats and jerseys with the Chief Wahoo logo.
