Phil Castellini surprised that Opening Day tickets still unsold

If the Reds lose like 20 of their next 30 and are looking at 12-24 record, or something similar, the attendance is going to get reaaaaaaaalllll bad. I just saw some images from todays game. I get it, early afternoon weekday game with poor weather, it looked like a Rays game. If people shun the Reds the owners will have to sell. I am starting to think this is the beginning of the end.

FWIW day games generally draw pretty well. You had a couple of factors, a day game the day before (opening day) and weather that looked like a washout all day long. Most people aren't going to go to two day games in a row.

And the weather looked like rain all week. Had it been a nice day, I think the attendance would probably have doubled.

All that aside, this was the first opening day in recent memory that wasn't sold out hours after OD tickets were made available. I am sure the had a difficult time selling season tickets and ticket packs after the lockout and dismantling of the team.

The schedule did them no favors. Four in Atlanta then a west coast trip, they may be done for after the first main road trip of the season and then it will get pretty bad.
