there is no one at the ballpark looks likes a MLS game
Well it IS a day game so a lot of people are at work, at it's 1oo degrees here today. Not to say that's an excuse, just something to keep in mind. Also, I havent gone to that many game this year, personally. I watch them all and will always be a fan of my team, but I don't feel the need to go buy a ticket on a regular basis, spend money for parking, $8 a beer, food, etc. for the product that our front office is putting on the field. I have bills to pay and those games take a chunk of money out of your pocket besides the tickets. I still love my team, but it's frustrating. Shell some money out, field a decent team, and people will go to more games. Simple.
Another thing, there was an article that came out recently saying considering the Padres' record and performance, the attendance numbers aren't bad at all.
