New GM Bill Schmidt has a lot to figure out this offseason. Amidst all his decisions, I wonder if Schmidt will use attendance as an indicator of what should be done.
I hope not.
In their third consecutive losing season, the Rockies just clocked their fourth straight top-10 attendance year (not counting a fanless 2020). On June 11, I wrote an article examining the Rockies attendance mark up to that point, which was fourth best in the league at 518,771 through 34 games with an average of 15,258 people per game amid capacity limitations. At the time, the Braves, Rangers, and Astros were better.
