Last season,the fans had a reason to attend...Sox were in 1st place,and yet they stayed away for a myriad of reasons.
This year, attendance is up,go figure, for a team that is stuck in last place. Now, last year the team was virtually the same,record-wise,at this point,so maybe attendance will flag in the summer if the Sox do not streak. |

The drops in ticket & parking prices probably has something to do with this.

Nah, it was the pie-in-the-face marketing plan.

Don't underestimate the damage that Ozzie did the last couple of years he was here. For me, those last couple of Ozzie years left a very bad taste in my mouth and I lost a lot of respect for the organization the way they enabled him and his family.

To say nothing of how he insulted the fan base: "they can ‘turn off their TVs and stop watching the game if they don’t like the [bleep]ing lineup’’ “as soon as you leave the ballpark they don’t care about you. They don’t. The monuments, the statues…they pee on them when they get drunk.” Classy guy that Ozzie. Lip |

So, spending wisely isn't only about paying for the Dunns of the worlds, it's also about putting resources into your scouting and minor league system. One more thing I'll say about 1999. The Sox may have had a lousy record that year, but they already had the following young players somewhere in their organization: Konerko, Ordonez, Lee, Garland, Buehrle, Crede, Rowand. The Sox farm system was seen as pretty good back then. When your farm system is ranked dead last for many years in a row (as is the case now), you're not likely to see a repeat of that. I really doubt that there's another crop of good players like that making their way to the Sox any time soon. Quote:
The people on this site who like to bash Sox fans for the low attendance last season always ignore this fact.

As for the site, it's interesting to look through an old thread and see dozens of names who are no longer around for one reason or another. |
