Why is the Indians Attendance so bad?

Cleveland's average attendance is 16,656 which is the worst in MLB and is down from 17,242 last year. The team is really good at 47-30. They have some really exciting players in Lindor, Uribe, Kluber,Salazar and it's the summer, the cavs season is over and Cleveland doesn't have all that much else. Is the ballpark a dump, super expensive tickets,anyone know?

The Cavs are the only team Cleveland fans care about now

Lots of poor folks in Cleveland.

Not quite a dump, but it has lost its 90's luster back when it was Jacobs Field. Seems like those Kenny Lofton, Albert Belle, and Jim Thome teams brought more folks to the park.

I really don't get it, they have a good core that's been there a while and are contenders this year. They set attendance records in the 90s but have been bottom two or three in attendance the last few years, and they haven't been bad.

vs the White Sox recently they averaged 25-27k a game
vs the Rays recently they averaged 16k a game
Attendance will start to pick up now I believe

Because they're still shitty.

Because the people in the city of cleveland love their sports teams so much.

The Cavs, plus slow-to-trust fans, are keeping their skepticism keen. They've seen this before.

crazy because they had like 5 straight sell out seasons in the 90's.

Funny you bring this topic up, I just bought tickets for July 31 today
But if they keep up you'll see a big surge in attendance. They've been on the road a bit recently when playing well, their next home stand should be big.

their field, Jacobs Field is a very nice park. the location is downtown but in today's Cleveland it's not that hard to get to.
imo, there is no excuse for that poor attendance. my only comment is Cleveland is a shite sport city and has been for a long, long time. the Cav's won their first title and everybody knows why.

The owner wants attendance low so the lease can be broken and the team can move to Miami.
Posted on 6/30/16 at 4:29 pm to ZoeFemme
Once the trade deadline passes and the cheap arse owner doesn't blow up the team attendance will rise.

I've said this many times. The biggest problem with the Indians is their failure to re-sign homegrown stars. Over the last 20 years, the Indians have produced Albert Belle, Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, C.C Sabathia, Victor Martinez and Cliff Lee and they failed to re-sign any of them. Who the hell wants to root for a team like that? The Indians aren't much different from the Oaklsnd A's and Tampa Bay Rays. It's just that their small market mentality has gotten a fraction of the attention that those teams have.
