SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Tim Tebow's new home is an 11,000-seat stadium on Syracuse's gritty north side, set in an industrial area where a freight train rumbles beyond the left-field fence several times a day. The place rocked on April 4, as more than 8,800 watched the opening day debut of both Tebow and the New York Mets' new Triple-A affiliate, but this week served as a reminder that his current profession is less glamorous than his previous one.
Taco Tuesday (three tacos for $8!) drew an announced crowd of only 1,200 (about three times the actual turnout) on a chilly afternoon in upstate New York, where Tebow arrived at the ballpark at 8 a.
