The Baltimore Orioles went through 14 consecutive years of losing before 2012, and many of the fans had a hard time coming back. A lot of that had to do with the ownership, specifically Peter Angelos, though some of it had to do with the Washington Nationals coming to town.
Attendance dropped severely in 2018, from 2.028 million fans in 2017 to 1.564 million last year. That’s understandable due to how poor the team played, as very few fans want to watch a 47-115 team. Fans came to see Manny Machado before he was traded, and they came to see Adam Jones, but other than that the attendance lacked.
