I've wondered a lot this fall about what the Mets' winning the 2015 NL Pennant is going to mean for their attendance -- and the Yankees' attendance next year. After all, the real jump in attendance that happens when a team gets good happens in the following year.
Look at what winning did for the Kansas City Royals' ticket sales, with their 2014 pennant-winning season:
2013: 1,750,754
2014: 1,956,482
2015: 2,708,549
Here's the Mets' home attendance for last year and this year:
2014: 2,148,808
2015: 2,569,753
And if history is any judge, the Mets should see a big jump in ticket attendance in 2016, especially if they have another good season.
