nowhere near that level. And they haven't been for a good while now and are not doing anything significant to get that way. I've been through the downs of the 70s, ups of the 80s, downs of the 90s and then ups of the 2000s. When they're good, people are interested. When they're bad, people aren't. Its really up to ownership. If they want to be good people will fill the place up. This ownership has experienced that and knows. They're finding out what happens when they don't make an honest effort.

Five winning seasons in 32 years? I will be long gone - Erwin Fletcher STL - 7/10 15:17:27

sounds to me like great reasons to do something else - 90Tiger STL - 7/10 15:01:45

so you only believe attending games are a good experience - Fire Marshall Bill STL - 7/10 15:04:52

hardly what I stated or implied, Bill. The league appears - 90Tiger STL - 7/10 15:43:14

I think the league eventually will have to do something to - tgr MU

when the new construction is done you won't be able to - TigerA MU - 7/10 14:14:07

It's all apathy due to a mediocre, aimless roster and - 90Tiger STL - 7/10 14:03:58

The Rockies are outdrawing both the Cards and the Royals - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 7/10 13:57:47

That's because their ballpark is across the street from one - Carlos Rossi KC - 7/10 14:28:02

You've cracked the code for MLB. Now they just need to - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 7/10 14:45:11

It helps for sure. Not saying you will sell out every game, - Carlos Rossi KC - 7/10 14:47:05

Coors field is def a destination ballpark - AWOLTiger KC - 7/10 14:03:33

I do like their ballpark and the area around it has some - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 7/10 14:06:05

Rumor is Nelly is going to move the Cards to IL and - Carlos Rossi KC - 7/10 14:17:15

nope, more the hassle and expense of parking - tigerinhogtown STL - 7/10 13:27:01

No one is going to the games. Parking can't be the issue.(nm) - Carlos Rossi KC - 7/10 13:28:48

20k people is still a parking hassle(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 7/10 13:30:23

Also why is it just now an "issue." It's another excuse - Carlos Rossi KC - 7/10 13:33:30

safety is not a factor, no matter how much you hope - 90Tiger STL - 7/10 14:09:24

If I wanted to go to a game I would not hesitate for one - sprintcar STL - 7/10 14:13:24

I almost left that off...you ignored the "not exciting" part - tigerinhogtown STL - 7/10 13:46:07

Exciting is different to different people. - kmawv8 MU - 7/10 13:48:35

Kids in STL are buying Mahomes, Bobby Witt, and Cags - Carlos Rossi KC - 7/10 13:47:36

exactly...nobody excites the locals and apathy sets in(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 7/10 13:49:38

The BFIB are not happy!!! They are still the most - Carlos Rossi KC - 7/10 13:36:42

to be fair, it's been a really disappointing season - Fire Marshall Bill STL - 7/10 13:41:25

What who is doing? (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 7/10 13:31:23

This is the time of the year when fans say f*** it - Bosalphus KC - 7/10 13:07:46
