As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Was thinking about this today. That rainout yesterday is actually a pretty big hit in terms of chasing the GABP single season record for total attendance. I assume there were close to 40,000 tickets sold for the game on the 4th that will not count towards total attendance. Granted, nearly all of those tickets will be rain checked for other games, but it sucks losing out on a potential sellout on the 4th of July.
In other news, rain sucks. It's 2013, shouldn't we have figured out how to control Mother Nature by now? I blame Obama and Tony LaRussa. The only logical explanation is they teamed up to get yesterday's game rained out.
True. Not much seperating teams #10 (Boston, 34k per game) and #18 Baltimore (29.2 k per game)
I'm pretty happy for this year. We're about 3k/game behind Boston/#10.. pretty darn good
Barring a collapse this year, we should have positive momentum going into next year which might bump us up another 1-3k per game next year.

All about the season ticket base. Look at the crowd in Miller Park last night, and it looked pretty pathetic...yet they had about 25,000 paid attendance. If the Reds could just build the base up a little higher, those stinker games on Mondays and Tuesdays will have a nice built-in number without relying on so many walk-ups.

With the Pirate series drawing really well, the Reds average attendance per game is up to 31,563 and that is good for 15th place in all of MLB. Toronto and Atlanta are just ahead of Cincy, well within range.
The Reds close out with weekday series vs rivals and weekend series vs St. Louis, LAD and Pit. I'm thinking they may have a shot at the all time record of attendance.

BTW, looks like we're at 32,365 average now, up 802 from last reporting in 13th place (two spots up).

The rainout vs. SF on July 4th won't help. The four weekday games vs. AZ ans then STL and the last three vs. the Pirates are the key. Been really encouraging to see the summer weekday crowds really coming around, but school is back in session so that's when the season ticket base has to carry the load. I couldn't figure out why there was only 30 and change on Friday night last weekend.
even a little over 30+ is a big improvement over other years. I went to a Friday fireworks game in '09 that was 14k paid attendance.
Doing the math, it looks like redsmetz used the San Fran 'home' in his calculations. I can see how that can be counted as our attendance since we did get financial compensation for the game, but ESPN lists the attendance for that game in as '42,310' which is higher than any attendance the Reds have this year except for Opening Day.
Taking out the San Fran 'home' game, I figure we are sitting at and average attendance of 32,191 and a season total attendance of 1,834,913. We have 23 remaining home games.
So:
32,191 * 23 = 740,393 + 1,834,913 = 2,575,306 for an estimated final season total.
This would put us well above the GABP record of 2,355,259 in 2003 according to baseball-almanac.com. We also would beat the record of average attendance a game too with the record sitting at 29,077 in 2003 too. Looking at Reds history the highest total attendance, according to baseball-almanac.com, is 2,629,708 in 1976, but I am not sure if that includes playoff games or not. The higest aveage attendance is in 1994 at 33,003, but that year ended in a strike.
2015 Attendance 2-1 (4/6, 4/7,4/24)
2014 Attendance 1-3 (3/31, 4/12, 8/14)
2013 Attendance: 6-0 (4/3, 4/16, 4/17, 8/3, 8/21, 9/7)

The August and September school-is-open blahs have been in effect for a while so Reds attendance has been declining.
Thru last night (Friday) their average per game is 31,368 compared to 29,283 last season at this time, a difference of 2,085. Not a bad increase.
The Reds rank 17th in MLB with that average-per-game and trail Atlanta, Minnesota and Milwaukee only slightly.
