MLB attendance is down; rebuilding teams hit hard

2. I agree, the cost is a big factor.

Just for my husband and me to see an Indians game, Tickets will run $100 to $120 for the two of us, because I can't sit in the open areas where the sun beats down on you, I did that once and almost fainted. Drive an hour and a half each way, so factor in the cost of gas..... pay $20-30 $ to park ..... food is ridiculously expensive ....and you are limited as to what you're allowed to bring in as far as refreshments. We both enjoy baseball, but just don't have that kind of $ to see games that often.

We'll stick to going to the local minor league team's games ..... 15 minute drive and $10 for a front row seat that you can buy the day of the game!
