I'll be honest, Havent had the chance to attend any Games this year. Moved to Leamington Ontario (From Newmarket) A few years ago, but Spent most of this summer (June till Yesterday) at my other house in Wasaga beach. No cable Up There and too many trees for Satellite. It's nice to be home and finally get a chance to watch A Game On TV.
As for the Attendance I have no Clue if it's been that much better. Does anyone have a Link to show attendance figures?

Certantly much better than the 22-23k that they were averaging a couple years ago. On pace for well over 2 million fans this year.

I bet Godfrey and Ricciardi thought it would jump more than that with the signings they made in the off-season.

I'll help with attendance, I'm going to three games sept 22-24 against Boston. I'll be sitting in the section behind the first base side dugout. Oh yeah.

Attendance is up, but it's a little disappointing. I'd hoped to see it jump more, given the offseason acquisitions and the good play of the team for much of the first part of the season. However, TV numbers have been up considerably, and attendance tends to be a year behind TV ratings. If the team finishes strong this year, has a good offseason, and gets off to a good start next year, I imagine we'll get above the 30,000 per game mark -- higher if we contend.

Opportunity missed. The lack of a realistic stretch drive will probably send attendance lower early in the year.
This year is a disappointment to fans.... plain and simple.
