DBacks v. Rockies Attendance
As there has been a little blather blogging about the various Colorado and Arizona fandoms (following a little ugliness and a late arrival by AZ's 98% of sellout crowd for a 5:30 start time game) it might be insightful to look at the actual NUMBERS.
Diamondbacks attendance this year: total of 2,325,249 w/ avg per game of 28,707
Rockies attendance this year: total of 2,376,250 w/ avg per game of 28,979
umm... those look about the same, no? and you look at the data going back for the past couple of years, both teams attendance patterns are fairly similar (and upward trending). You field anonymous young teams that are home grown while ditching overpaid "franchise" players like Larry Walker and Luis Gonzalez, a dip in attendance isn't unexpected. I predict that the fan bases of both these teams will get stronger as this core ages & improves.
