August 3, 201213 yr Seat chart on whitesox.com already showing that the lower deck is almost completely unavailable and the upper is at least half sold....
August 3, 201213 yr Not even close. Lower deck still has plenty seats available, and upper deck is only about 40% full. Only 28K tonight.
August 4, 201213 yr Author QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) 32,060. What is that, about 5-6k short of capacity? I'd be thrilled with numbers like that from now on.

I would be too, if it wasn't Friday night in August when we're 2.5 games in first and playing a team with Albert Pujols and Mike trout on it. I went last night and I am going tomorrow, do your part people. Edit: That was more a comment to the general public as I know everyone here is a diehard and goes whenever possible.

August 4, 201213 yr We are slowing moving up the ranks. We were in the low 22K area not too long ago, and 27th in attendance. Now we are at 24K and 24th. http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance I won't be satisfied until we are top 15 though. Edited August 4, 201213 yr by JoeCoolMan24

Dont forget that tix were as low as $26, as this was elvis night, a premium game. Price is still a major factor for fans to go to more games. So you should stop trying to shame people togo to games.

Sold out lower deck 23K, Sold out Club Level/Suites 5K, Sold Out UD 12K...Capacity 40K. Sold out LD with half sold suites/club and UD would be about 31.5K.

I feel confident when I say the average/fairweather baseball fan has no idea who the hell Mike Trout is. Baseball is by far the worst (hockey doesn't count) at marketing its individual superstars. I wouldn't even recognize Mike Trout in regular clothes just walkin' down the street. And I've got a hard-on for him. For the Sox, they have to win. Period. Yeah, if the Yankees, Red Sox or Cubs come to town, they'll draw. But it's more the franchises themselves than people paying top dollar to see Robinson Cano, another guy I probably wouldn't recognize outside of uniform.
