Attendance figures have long been a concern for the Miami Marlins. The combination of an organization that has failed to secure a playoff spot since 2003, plus a fanbase with high expectations and plentiful alternatives on any given night, is predictably perilous. Additionally, the Marlins have antagonized their community with heartbreak, repeated rebuilds, and a stadium location that many find to be inaccessible.
But there is hope that beautiful Marlins Park will one day be filled with energetic fans. After all, this is South Florida, and for better or worse, this city shows up when you give them a reason to do so.
