Check the attendance year in and year out. The Cardinals fans are among the topps in baseball (see what I did there).
The Cowboys average attendance last year was almost 91,500. It's about 90,000 every year.
I suspect that when the Rangers start playing in an air-conditioned park, attendance will rise dramatically. Especially if the parking isn't a nightmare.
very doubtful. there are true Rangers fans, then there are the front-runners who show up around playoff time.
Rangers @ Cardinals (last home game for Cardinals) attendance 44,897 98.9% full for mid-June game. 90 degrees Oh, outside.
Orioles @ Rangers (two first place teams) 33,366 73.5% full 92 degrees
June 15th, Wednesday
Astros @ Cardinals 42,008 92.5% full 95 degrees
June 8th, Wednesday
Astros @ Texas (in-state rivalry) 37,696 78.3% full 89 degrees
My point is, the Cardinals have an outdoor stadium and its just as hot now, but humidity there is awful. The Cardinals are hovering at 50/50 and they fill the stadium night in and night out. Rangers are in first place and are having a great season. they fill the stadium if it's opening day, or time to clinch the division. Only fill the stadium for "big" games - front runners.
Yes, the Cardinals have had a ton of success. great organization. When they have down years, they fill the stadium. It's laughable that you're saying Rangers fans are better than Cardinals fans. Cardinals fans travel well too!
Cardinals, Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs. top 4 fans in baseball.
