Is 56% attendance supposed to be impressive? That's gotta be bottom 20% of the league during that time. They're not that St. Louis Cardinals who draw 40k every year even if the team is mediocre.
Their attendance is down 4k from last year and nearly 6k since 2015, their fans are literally hopping off the bandwagon.
Obviously the Indians would like attendance to be better, but they just aren't drawing fans through the week. They have averaged over 30k on the weekend for June and July.
It is a shame the Indians don't have better fan support. Cities like Philly, Minnesota, San Diego, Pittsburgh, and even Cincinnati all outdraw them. The Tribe has a good ballclub and deserves better from its fanbase. To be in the bottom 5 coming off a World Series appearance is an embarrassment.
Having gotten that out of the way, I'm excited by the way they played in their most recent homestand. It was nice to see them take care of the teams that they should be able to beat.
