It’s no indictment of Padres fans that Dodgers fans outnumbered them the past few days at Petco Park.
Wherever the Dodgers stop on the West Coast, even in San Francisco last week, you’ll see many thousands of Dodgers fans.
Padres fans are buying lots of tickets, despite the team’s many dismal recent seasons on the field. The sellout crowds of the past weekend set a ballpark attendance record for a three-game series. Though the Padres lost twice, it’s clear that they’re improved. Padres fans will come back.
I’ve never understood the “blame the fans” shtick, anyway.
