Do MLB Fans Get What They Pay For?

I came across this article today, which I found interesting.

Of note is footnote 4: The Florida Marlins, Washington Nationals, Cleveland Indians, Colorado Rockies and Kansas City Royals did not respond to the survey. Information from their respective Web sites and 2009 team-supplied surveys were used to calculate 2010 numbers.

Its gotta suck to be a diehard Cubs fan. 100+ years of losing and what do they have to show for it? The second highest priced day at the park.

Anything in life is possible, except for skiing through revolving doors.

trust me, it does not suck to be any kind of cubs fan. even they don’t think so, even if they say it does.

100+ years is only worse than 62 years if you’re Medicare eligible. And even then, that’s only an “all else equal” situation, which this isn’t. Give me regular contention and ultimate failure any day.

Would you rather be a season ticket holder for the Marlins or the Cubs?

The Marlins have season ticket holders?

Is this the whale section?

A good buddy of mine is a die-hard Marlins fan. I feel privileged to know such a rare species.

Nothing personal, but I don’t think any of you believe in the existence of this “friend.”

How many people on average go to their games? Seriously whenever I see highlights the whole outfield is empty except for maybe 4 people. How has this franchise not moved?

Uh, excuse me—Is this seat taken?

That’s how the game should be enjoyed.

Revenue sharing. And the lack of a city that is willing to be blackmailed for a stadium more than Miami is.

Didn’t they finally bribe enough Miami-Dade county commissioners to get a new stadium?

Opening in 2012, when the Marlins will start calling themselves the Miami Marlins. Retractable roof stadium with seating capacity of 37000. The Marlins will also help pay for the stadium, 155 million out of the 515 million price tag. Construction has already started.
