DOWN
The sport slow death continues..
Of course it's down, if no one young gives a and your core market is the 55+ crowd it's the 56+ crowd in a year and the 57+ crowd in two years and so on.
Waiting for the charts...
It's fine.
Those arent "committed" fans anyway.
I got graphs here that show baseball still have the same amount of "committed" fans. If you aint 400lbs and eating hotdogs during the game then you dont really count as a fan
Right?
Baseball will be fine. I do think we'll see smaller stadiums soon though with more amenities. Most teams really don't need more than 30k.
The World Cup is already beset by empty seats. FIFA is baffled.

The world cup should always be in a country of the EU, to put it anywhere else, it is a disservice to the sport.
Or North America.
But you act like Russia is Chad or something.
so soccer and baseball are both boring.
this is known.
There is a trend of men having less physical strength and testosterone. I think the two would be linked, tbh
The soccer crew gets more re ed by the day. Andat the hedging about "charts" because you know you dumbasses will get proven wrong since you can't think beyond tweets (no wonder you like a low attention sport like soccer). MLB attendance is down a whopping 1785 per game, which was much a result of the terrible weather in April/May, and beyond that, the attendance drop can be primarily attributed to Toronto (went from 38,950 to 27,770). Apparently Rogers raised ticket prices and Jays fans are pissed. And Miami, who went from about 20,000 per game to 10,000. Yeah, trading away their entire core will tend to cause pissed off fans to not attend. So let's remove those declines and rework the numbers. 29,409 (2017) vs. 28,226 (2018). Basically noise. Chart of the day. During baseball's "golden age," attendance was around 12-15,000. It's more than double that now in a much more crowded sports landscape.
Think it's time for the soccer crew to take a break and go watch another game where both teams can't score more than twice in the same match.
MLB is roughly as popular with millennials as the NBA.
LOL today's NBA
Right on cue
Nah, soccer is trash. Baseball is America's past time. Simple as that really.
Of course it's in south bumble Russia.
So does it mean USA is finally solving their morbid obesity issues?
The US doesn't give a about povertyball and still set the attendance record for the World Cup when we hosted it in '94. No excuses.
Cubs vs Yankees will be the WS this year and it'll absolutely crush the NBA Finals in ratings
You mean like how the Bruins and then Lightning were going to win the Cup and the Rockets were going to win the Finals?
I'd be shocked if the Astros aren't back in the World Series. The NL is wide open, though.
