There’s no shortage of reasons to be frustrated with the Seattle Mariners right now, but today I’m here to briefly rehash a common complaint: ticket prices. They could always be lower, and until the end of time it will be lamented that things cost more than they should in the eye of the purchaser. But last night we saw an embarrassing microcosm of a larger issue.
The 11,265 tonight at Safeco is the ninth smallest crowd in club history. The last time they had a sub 12,000 crowd was September 9, 2014 vs. the Astros.
