Marlins-Reds Game Attendance Hits Sad Low of 347 Fans

Posted on August 25, 2011 | Comments Off on Marlins-Reds Game Attendance Hits Sad Low of 347 Fans

If you didn’t know better, you might guess that someone called in a bomb threat before last night’s game at Sun Life Stadium. The Florida Marlins rank dead last in total attendance this season and second-to-last in attendance percentage, ahead of only Toronto. The unofficial count of 347 was after the first pitch, but I am assuming everyone in the seats did their own counting and got about the same number. The money collected likely didn’t pay to run the scoreboard.

 I understand that this was a rescheduled game, but is that really an excuse for this low of a turn out? This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this with the Marlins either. Is it time to contract?

Can Marketing Help the Florida Marlins?

Dolphins Stadium - Marlins game attendance

Who called in the bomb scare at Dolphin Stadium yesterday? No one, and that’s what sad. It was reported that only about 400 people attended the FL Marlins v. Washington Nationals game on 9/12/07. This shot of the stadium seems to show even less.

Granted they are in no danger of making the playoffs, but what has happened to this club? They have a couple World Series appearances and have had some good players on the field. So where do they go from here? And more importantly, can marketing help?

If you were in charge of marketing for this team, what would you do next season to get seats in the seats?
