I didn't believe that number when I read it but it's correct, holy crap that's low considering the hype for Harper's debut, my projection was off by 10K. I'll bet that the actual attendance was significantly lower as there were tons of tickets listed for under $5 on StubHub as of late yesterday afternoon. Fantastic weather and a first place team, where the hell is everybody? Tonight is really going to be lightly attended with the Caps playing up the road, I'll be there with a few hundred other people.
Back in 2008 the team was bragging that they had one of the lowest no show percentages in the league but those days are long gone, now when they announce the paid attendance you can generally figure that half to two thirds of that number actually showed up to use the tickets they purchased.
Weeknight, school in session, relatively short notice on Harper...
