Steve, do you think maybe the marketing is all wrong?
Monday September 11, 2023 home vs. Arizona: 25, 230
OK maybe there was some sort of 9/11 component to that.
Tuesday September 12, 2023 home vs Arizona: 33,506
Monday September 12, 2022 for a team that would win 100 games; 28,081
Monday September 14, 2021, the 70-72 Mets drew 19,057
Monday September 16, 2019, the 77-73 Mets drew 28,505. Surely comparing a Monday September 16th to a Monday September 16th is fair. And we can’t say the weather was poor last night.
Monday September 19, 2016 off a World Series appearance, 29,665 came to see the Mets host Atlanta.
Monday September 14 2015, vs Miami, 27,320 showed up.
And 10 years ago in 2014 on Monday September 15, 23,027 came to see the 72-79 Mets play the Marlins.
Steve, I don’t know what to tell you. You’ve got a team in playoff contention. Maybe nobody cares about a third wild card, I know I don’t. Maybe there are more people turned off by Lindor than the media (who he talks to) realize. Maybe Grimace is fun for a bored beat reporter and your Partnerships team, but it didn’t pack the place.
Steve, I warned you last year when The T-Shirt Army Section started being 2/3 full. It was a major warning sign. You blew me off publicly on twitter.
21,694 Steve. Look at this photo. Don’t look at his thumb. Look at the eyes on “Mr. Smile”
21,694.
