No, but they explain $120MM payrolls vs $200MM and why expecting sellouts in small markets isn't reasonable.

They took out many seats which makes it a smaller stadium but the average attendance number isn't a percentage of seats, it's a total. Besides, they need the rest of the stadium for the playoffs (especially when Cubs fans are bidding for the seats).

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

What year is it?
How about the Mets infield of Adrian Gonzalaez, David Wright, Todd Frazier, Jose Reyes, and Asdrubal Cabrera, who have a combined 20 ASG appearances, (but probably the guy with the best shot of making one hasn't been to one yet)

Thats like saying DDFers would have been able to travel the world in first class even without credit card points.

...and they all stood for the NA. I don't think football needs to be worried that baseball will overtake them in the ratings during our lifetime.  :)

Well, that depends on how old you are. This is what baseball probably said 30 years ago
