I remember looking at it and all of the other construction cranes and thinking, "how are they going to fill all this space in THIS economy?" <BR/><BR/>I'd be willing to bet that the Nats' attendance this year falls below 20,000 per game (unless they have a dramatic and highly unlikely on field turnaround). And I say that even though I'm a season ticket holder who will likely attend at least 20 games this year.<BR/><BR/>And Mike, sorry to be a bummer. I really want the Nats to succeed the way the Ravens did when they moved to the East Coast (and I became a season ticket holder for them). I guess I'm just a realist.bdrubenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-32923515355836842842009-04-13T10:09:00.000-04:002009-04-13T10:09:00.000-04:00I don't know if it will make you feel any better, ...I don't know if it will make you feel any better, but I went to James Madison HS too.Sec314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-28510339545586373022009-04-13T09:44:00.000-04:002009-04-13T09:44:00.000-04:00The Lerners' building sat there empty all last sea...The Lerners' building sat there empty all last season too. How come no one noticed it then and instead kept saying that they certainly had the money to spend, so why aren't they spending it? They've actually spent money this offseason. Ticket sales down or not, this franchise is in a lot less trouble than many others are. I bet they do a better job of filling the house for their opener than the Marlins and Braves did for theirs.An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-8963655626747997202009-04-13T09:11:00.000-04:002009-04-13T09:11:00.000-04:00Hey - you're supposed to make me feel better here,...Hey - you're supposed to make me feel better here, not worse!<BR/>But I can't argue a single point you made.MikeHarrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120210292656990693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-43095537090900256972009-04-13T09:06:00.000-04:002009-04-13T09:06:00.000-04:00You might as well start to panic and get it over w...You might as well start to panic and get it over with. This whole franchise is in deep, deep trouble. Check out the front page, above-the-fold story in yesterday's Post about how all the mega-real estate projects around the stadium are collapsing. The Lerners themselves built a ten story office tower that is now sitting vacant, presumably costing them millions of dollars.<BR/><BR/>Combine that with the team refusing to release ticket sales figures, the miniscule televison ratings and the utter lack of true prospects in the minor league system and you have a franchise that would be in trouble even if they hadn't started 0-6.bdrubenoreply@blogger.com
