I’m never certain why the Twin Cities and Milwaukee’s suscces with attendance is evidence against the Rays. These teams draw well, they should be commended. As a native of Florida and a transplant to the Northeast my experience is that there is almost a mania, to do something, to do anything outdoors during the all-to-brief interlude between Memorial Day and Labor Day. I’ve looked at attendance information on minor league teams and northern teams seem to always draw more, even when dealing with MLB competition and a smaller population base. How do you explain in 2009 the New Britain Rock Cats drawing 5556 per game, and the city whose name is bandied about as our competition – Charlotte – the Knights drew 4513. The closest MLB team is 6 hours away, the population disparity is pronounced and most people in CT are fans of the Yankees, Sox and Met but they still have a better gate. I think if the roof comes off in St. Pete, Tampa, Brandon, Gulfport, or wherever attendance will drop even further.
