At least you didn't come on here saying that Justin Upton is on pace to hit 100 HR. Nice get for the Braves. Looking forward to the series in Detroit April 26th to 28th.

Should be interesting

It's amazing to me how retardedly delusional, biased, and loyal Braves fans on here are considering they can't get people in Atlanta to support them.

Significantly lower % attendance than every team in the playoffs last year outside of Oakland, who isn't tough to beat.

That directly correlates to why I said its awesome how homerific, loyal, and inanely biased Braves fans on here are considering how mediocre the support is from their own fans.


Yeah, you definitely were trying to hammer home the point of the Braves attendance being average. fricking idiot.

Because someone asked for proof, you blithering idiot. It's not like I repetitively jump in braves threads trashing their attendance.

Guess you missed the relative to other playoff team tidbit; its not like I'm saying they have marlins attendance.

Better location, better public transportation to name 2 things. Probably the 2 most important things as well

I do agree that I think our average home attendance should be a little higher but we are showing signs of improvement.

This should happen more, though, because Braves fans are 10x more obnoxious than usual.

There are ample parking lots right next to turner and there is a MARTA station within walking distance if you are really keen on taking that.

They really are more excuses than anything. You can make it to a game in under an hour from pretty much anywhere in the metro area. Other teams also have some logistics problems with the ballpark.

you are high, you literally have to take a braves shuttle from underground if you are taking marta to the game.

still high.

have you not seen the bottleneck that occurs on the connector coming North of ATL??? Ever been on 285??? Coming from Johns Creek it would take me an hour to get to the connector at 5PM and probably another 40 min from there to get to the game if I am driving.

It is walking distance. I did it once. It was not bad at all.

I have never had many problems coming down 75.

I go to a couple games a year and have never had much of an issue with getting to games. Either i am insanely lucky or the bitching is just an excuse.

Providing proof is not repetitively stating something.

Your inability to read a comparison to the other playoff teams isn't backing out of anything. You're trying to wiggle your way around wording whereas I'm sticking by my playoff team stats.

playoff team stats.

Braves were even with WAS and CINCY, ahead of BAL and OAK, behind TEX, STL, SF, NY, DET in attendance.

Pretty middle of the pack it looks like. What is the glaring stat here that supports your argument?
