Why can't the Marlins get any fans in their ball park?

Question

I feel bad for that team! They're great yet they can't even get 700 in their own field! I read they had only like 600 there last night.

Answer 1

^^^^^^^

ppl arent that smart

its not that they didnt sell the tickets, the fact is when u work the day, its hot as h**l outside, like 90, and ur a few games back playing a bad team, who would want to come on out when their tvs working just fine?

Answer 2

The Marlins aren't exactly performing that "well", and it is hot in there

Answer 3

They aren't winning that many games this year. Also, their stadium is a football stadium and sucks for watching baseball. If they start winning they shouldn't have a problem.

Answer 4

because everyone is different in florida they may be minnesota fans or something plus the marlins have loosing records almost every year so they just gave up  

Answer 5

Pudge aint playin for them anymore

Answer 6

the marlins arent any good they need mets fans

Answer 7

well they have to compete with that one park in orlando. you know that park with the mouse and girl mouse and the yellow dog

Answer 8

As cruel as this is going to sound is b/c nobody cares. They know that ownership will just dismantle that team again just like they done the previous 2 times they where successful.  I could also say is that people are getting tired of the high prices just to go to a game but i know nobody will listen to that theory.

Answer 9

Dolphin stadium isnt exactly the best place for a baseball game and the Marlins just havent been playing well lately

Answer 10

it is nothing to do with how bad they are. They are in the playoff hunt. the reason is because it is the afternoon while people are working and 90+ degrees.

Answer 11

cus that stadium is built for football its not a baseball Field. idk how they play baseball there

Answer 12

Cuz in Florida it seems no one cares about baseball. Tampa Bay can't get alot of fans in their ballpark either.  

Answer 13

Uh, because the Marlins are fish and there isn't any water in the stadium???

LOL! Sorry buddy, just having some fun!  ;-p

Answer 14

It's kinda hard to get fans to go to a ballpark on a hot sunny day and to get them to sit in metal seats since is hurts like h**l!!

Answer 15

Every "baseball fan" in Florida are front-runners!!! If u saw one game where they were in the World Series in 2003, every seat was filled. but now that they are like 8 games back, they cant even sell 1,000 seats!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!!!  If ur gonna use the excuse that it's too hot for them to watch a game, then how can u explain the Rays who are indoors. a true fan would go out to the ball park

Answer 16

Wait until they get a stadium in downtown Miami.  Attendance will be worse.

A hot summer day, in the afternoon, in South Florida.  Do you really have to ask why no one came?

Answer 17

Miami is more of a football city - and Florida is mostly a football state. Then add in that it gets way too warm and muggy during the summer and that Dolphins Stadium is not a great baseball stadium and there you have it.

Then there's also the fact that there are so many transplanted fan from other cities (particularly New York and there are a LOT of NYC natives down there). It makes it hard to cultivate a fan base when the people living in your area are rooting for other teams.  

Answer 18

I live in miami, fl i like going to the games, but it just isn't that exciting and i think the main reason is because our cost of living in miami is just about one of the highest in the U.S so every1 is mostly working or busy. Then when i could go it would have to be the day games, 1 pm scorching sun no shade [ DOME IN NEW STADIUM!!!! ]  Also you really dont hear anything about baseball here also, all just football and basketball. We had fans also, when we had good players. How do u expect the yankees and red sox be packed every night. I am surprised with how full other small teams do with their attendence. O i might add that the Marlin games only get full when they have a concert after the game, believe it or not it gets PACKED! and the only times it will be full if its an important games (mets ,phillies) Or a popular team (their fans show up, lol gets confusing 2 know what the crowd is saying when we play the mets the away team gets more fans and they are more into it lol)

Overall, because not big popularity , players , work, busy.
