Rays Fans, we’ve “embarrassed ourselves” with ALCS attendance

Guys we got to do better in game 6

The Tampa Bay Rays waited 17 years for another ALCS at home, then left 3,000 seats empty in Game 2. Game 1 sold out with 35,361 fans. Game 2 drew 32,125, and after dethroning the Yankees for the division title, the dip did not sit well with MLB analyst Evan Roberts.
For Roberts, the issue went beyond one disappointing night or a loss on the field. With a deep postseason run on the line, the Rays’ inability to draw another sellout crowd became a fresh talking point
“So, they announced 5,000 fewer people for last night’s game. And I get that down in Tampa, you’re not worried about us anymore. You’re on to the Guardians. Embarrassing. You’ve embarrassed yourself,” Evan said via WFAN Sports Radio.
The Rays averaged just 17,469 fans per game in 2026, far below capacity for a stadium with 35000+ seating capacity. The Rays recorded a total home attendance of 1,414,975 fans during the 2026 regular season at Tropicana Field.

Evan Roberts, though, is impressed with Cleveland’s support.
“I’m rooting for the Guardians. And you know why? Because they have fans that show up,” he added.
The Guardians’ home park, Progressive Field, holds around 35,000 fans. The Guardians drew 2,001,415 fans in 2026 (24,709 per game), their third consecutive season above 2 million

I’m shocked nobody in Tampa cares about the fifth most popular sport in the US this year.

It’s as compelling to national audiences as Iowa football

Iowa is an agricultural state in a city smaller than its stadium and puts 70,000 asses in the seats against cupcakes.
Baseball teams in Florida can’t sell out in conference championships that nobody is watching on TV because 87% of the country doesn’t even know where the Devil Rays are from

ETA: But at one point in history, Nebraska football actually did something at a championship level.
Iowa has never done that and never will.

It’s not 2005, retard. Nobody in rural America does meth anymore. They’re alcoholics up there.

Exactly. To the east of the Front Range which is vertical middle of the state, you may as well be in Kansas, Nebraska.

Do any of you retards realize that if every program that isn’t a blue blood quit caring simply because they won’t win national titles, that there would be no college football because like 6 programs would be in it?
These LSU cats think they’re Alabama because they caught lightning in a bottle. Fire coaches only to be 7-8 win program, Then they go out and pay $100MM for a coach to lose to the team he tried to raid and Kentucky.
Florida hasn’t mattered since Urban Meyer hired convicts who eventually murdered people and faked a heart attack to get out of it. Yet here you are beating the drum about championships he won.
