attendance

You would think a service that allows you to get tickets to your favorite team that are normally snatched up by season ticket holders would be a good thing. The Yankees think otherwise.

Yesterday the Tampa Bay Rays season came to an end after a big playoff push.  The problem is that people aren't coming to games and that is starting to cause problems for Rays owner Stuart Sternberg.

The 40-day meet at the Saratoga Race Course wrapped up on Monday and the final attendance and wagering numbers are in.

The regular-season home slate ended on a bittersweet note for the Tri-City ValleyCats on Monday night. The short-season Class A affiliate of the Houston Astros lost a pair of one-run games to the Lowell Spinners, 5-4 in ten innings and 3-2 in seven, but the ValleyCats set a new franchise attendance record for the eighth consecutive season.

Even though racing was cancelled at Saratoga Race Course on Sunday due to Hurricane Irene, on-track wagering was still up compared to the 2010 race season through week six (33 days) of the meet.

We're heading down the homestretch at the Saratoga Race Course - there's less than 2 weeks left in the meet. And after checking out the latest attendance figures, the "Summer Place To Be" is living up to its nickname.

We're halfway through the 2011 meet at Saratoga Race Course and fans are proving that horseracing is alive and well in the Capital Region.

On Monday, the Saratoga Race Course just wrapped up its 2nd week - and so far, the 40-day meet has been a huge success.

I just checked out the latest attendance figures in the AHL and I noticed the Albany Devils are last in the league in attendance. They're only averaging 2,818 fans per game.  That's over 600 less than the 2nd worst team - Abbotsford. Why isn't anyone watching minor league hockey here in the Capital Region?
