I know we have a late arriving crowd, but dang, this place is EMPTY. Was hoping this would be the game we'd start seeing an uptick in attendance.

They are going to need some more appealing promotions. Let a child in for $5 with a paid adult ticket. Start rebuilding the fan base. Children are good for concessions.
