Apparently Twins fans found something better to do then sit inside in an uncomfortable chair and watch a mediocre baseball team. The bastards. Attendance is down almost 3,000 people a game this year from around 27,000 to 24,000, making the Twins slightly more popular than the hunting opener. Which, when trying to ditch the inbred tag, can only help the cause.The economy has had some effect on attendance at the Metrodome, as after 24 home games they have drawn some 60,000 fewer fans than a year ago.
Through 24 games last season, they drew 652,612 fans, an average of 27,192 per game. They played their 24th home game of 2008 on Thursday, losing 3-2 to the Blue Jays in 11 innings in front of an announced 18,701. That put their attendance this year at 592,249, an average of 24,677.
There's clearly only one solution.
