Would make going to the games much easier and warrant people making longer trips to catch two games and not have to spend money staying overnight each time. Would help with attendance.

That's the main reason DH are no longer used on weekends.

A DH effectively eliminates a sold out game each weekend when one ticket is used to see two games.

Even if the stadium is cleared between games and a second ticket is needed for admittance to the second game of the DH, see below.

Sitting through 5 or 6 hours of games every Saturday is easier? Nope.

The attendance for each game would be drastically reduced from what separate games on successive days have. People are not going to want to sit through 6 hours of games on one day. And that's not just my opinion. It's what we've seen happen on those occasions when we have to play a DH to make up for a rain out.

Only applies to a very small percentage of fans attending games.
