Attendance for tonight’s game against the Minnesota Twins was 31,774.
How big of a number is that?
Last April 16, also a Saturday, the Rays played the Twins and sold just 16,428 tickets. In fact, the only crowds bigger than 31,774 in 2011 were opening day versus the Orioles (34,078), and a Saturday game in July against the Red Sox (32,487).
Well done Rays fans. Well done.

We are doing our best, Joe. See you tomorrow….and T,W,Th..at the Trop!
Not only against the Twins… but during an area-wide thunderstorm
A crushing blow to the media…bad attendance stories…..
Now see Media hype or lack of it with the “Babe Ruth” of our Time coming to town Tue.Wed.thur.
yes i know, it’s early but we are outdrawing the marlins!!! bahahahaha!!!!
All we need is a new stadium in Tampa and we will outdraw NY, Boston,
Phil ect ect…. ask Bud S. and the local media..they know best!
with da Trop @ 7th in the league for % of stadium capacity…
Well they followed it up with only 26,000 on Sunday, so things are back to normal. St. Pete just isn’t a baseball town.
Huh? Teams that drew less than 27,000 on Sunday: KC, Oakland, Seattle, San Diego, Houston. And Atlanta had 28,000. That’s 7 of the 12 games that were played yesterday.
Hey, I think the team would do better in Tampa. And I think St. Pete has some problems. But drawing 26,000 on a Sunday is not one.
