wow the cardinals are insane. certainly the best franchise in MLB history. they are a mid market team, residing in a city of ~300,000 people (1 million including the county). yet they consistantly get more than 3 million fans going through the turnstiles each year, and the compete without a super high payrole. |
Not disagreeing with you, but would like to point out that there is a horrible baseball team in the NorthWest that gets sold out seats on a regular basis. SEattle Mariners. Although now that Ichiro is gone I think it will be hard to do.
Damned Cardinals! I must admit that I like them about as much as I like the Yankees.....

actually the mariners sold about 1.5 million tickets, which is about 20,000 fans per game. or less than half of their seating capacity. and thats in a city of about 700,000 (2 million including the county) people.
so not really accurate on your part
