The figures for the baseball season have been released and it’s no surprise that winning brings the fans to the stadiums. Some interesting facts are that these include paid attendance, not actual bodies in the seats. The one stadium in particular that would make your head scratch is the Chicago Cubs. They finished 10th on the list but most nationally televised games saw a mostly empty stadium. How mush longer will fans continue to make the trek to Wrigley with such a lousy team? Who knows. Anyway here are the figures:
