Franchise Attendance?

Re: Franchise Attendance?

Can someone explain to me why a stadium is empty but in the 8th inning if the home team is down by a run or two it increases and almost full. I understand when the home team is loosing it will decrease but why increase in the 8th and 9th innings?

Re: Franchise Attendance?

I usually go by the game log after the game. If you look at it during the game it gives the current attendance at the time. After a rain delay or blow out, you’ll see the number lower. Or in Dodgers Stadium, you see the number go up as you play as people arrive late. But after the game is over, the number goes back up. So I assume that is the official attendance.

Oh wow, I never knew that number in the game log changed.

Attendance never made sense in Franchise mode in The Show. You could be 45-15 against the next best team in the league on a Saturday evening and there's not even half the seats filled.

Yes, that's always been a gripe!!

Yeah I just drew 25,000 for a Padres vs Mets game on a Tuesday night and then a Wednesday afternoon game with the same two teams draws 40,000 the next day

Re: Franchise Attendance?

I believe the opponent factors in as well.

I dont know about this. I played a franchise with the Rays and my lowest attendance(7000) was vs the red sox. Usually the red sox and yankees draw 15-20,000.

Re: Franchise Attendance?

I have been tracking attendance in my franchise out of curiosity. So I go by that as being the true number.

Please publish this once you finish a season. Raw data may provide us better answers.
