The Detroit Tigers, certainly, are in full rebuild mode.
But there's one thing they won't soon have to upgrade — the turnstiles at Comerica Park. They didn't get much use this year.
The Tigers saw a significant drop in attendance in 2018, down nearly a half-million fans from the 2017 season. The drop of 464,629 was the fourth-steepest decline in all of Major League Baseball.
The Tigers, who finished the season 64-98 — fifth-worst in baseball — averaged 23,212 fans for their 81 home games, in the bottom third of MLB teams. That included 80 gates, as there was one traditional doubleheader.
