Didn't they just win the World Series a few years ago...???
the problem with teams in areas like florida and arizona is that if you suck (like the marlins do, with the exception of the years they won the WS) then you can't get fans in the park. most of the baseball fans down there are older people from up north that remain loyal to their teams back home
Chicago is what you would get if Milwaukee had sex with it's sister. Said by a co-worker of mine arguing w/ somebody on how Milwaukee is better then Chicago.
Brewer's attendance was godawful just a few years ago, maybe not 600 awful but still bad.
I remember my first game at Miller Park in 2001 the official attendance was like 8,000 or so but only about 3,000 people actually there. Bucks attendance has always sucked balls everytime I've been there, and the Packers are the Packers.

I think thats mostly weekend games when half of Milwaukee is already downtown dining, going to bars, etc. and nobody wants to pay $15-20 to park in the BC structure and be stuck there for an hour after the game ends. So they park on the streets and in all the nearby $5-10 lots... 10K people in attendance is still ~5000 more cars down there on a weekend evening.
CONVENIENT! I have never lived someplace where it was sooo easy to get to a big game from downtown. Once it gets dark out, not everyone parties and going to games is relatively safe. I lived down in south fla and its not that easy to get to a game. Hell most new people end up in the ghetto just getting to the basketball games down there and talk about a pain in the ass for the Dolphins game.
not nearly as bad as Montreal when the Expos were in the dome. they were averaging only 4000 people a game. 4 times, in their last season, the attendance was so low they shut down the upper deck and allowed people to come down as close as they wanted to. saved money shutting off the upper concessions and such
