despite being first in the division, you have the second worst attendance record in the mlb

It's a real shame too!! The Indians used to have a huge following. Lack of attendance, especially when they are leading the division, will give the owners a reason to ask to relocate, and since baseball is a business, they will be granted the request. Indian fans beware!!

I don't live in Cleveland,I live in NY so it is very dissapointing for me to see so few fans there.If I lived in that area I would go to eveyr game I could.But there a a few reasons why their attendence is so low.
1.Cold weather-There were times so far during the games that it has reached 10 degrees farienheit.
2.Less games-With all of those snow outs the Indians have had 4 less games to rack up their attendence.
3.Focus on the NFL Draft and NBA playoffs-People opted to go to the draft or go to the Cavs game where it is nice warm instead of cold.
There are a few reasons,the attendence will pick up.I highly doubt they will be behined teams like Flordia,and Kanas City by the time October comes around.The Indians will also lose 1 home game this year due to the 4 snow outs.That could hurt a little.And for the one above me I am Native American and I do not find the logo offensive at all although I see where others might.

Are you talking about when it was F'ing snowing out? Hey there was a home opener game in Cleveland-even though one out before it was officially a game the umps cancelled the game. There was fans there freezing their you know whats off and they waited through every "snow" delay that day. The attendance has picked up now that the weather is cooperating. There is still a strong Indians fan base in Northeastern Ohio-that has always been there and that will continue to be there. If we are not at the games then we are listening and/or watching the games on tv. Go TRIBE!!

Well that is difficult to say. Remember when Jacob's Field had consecutive sellouts? That was when the team was winning in the 90s. Of course they are winning now, but maybe the Cavaliers are taking some fans away since they are in the playoffs. It costs more to get a basketball ticket than a baseball ticket. Anyway, you can't blame the lack of attendance due to economic difficulties. I rest my case!

They just do not support their team anymore - and they boo Thome for leaving, when the club simply would not pay him what he was worth! I don't get these fans there. They blame it on everything but lack of interest. They must have the worst fan base in the MLB now! They drew better in Milwaukee than their own stadium!!

The ICC had released a assertion as quickly as they issued that score and clarified its device. Matthew Hayden's place of tenth and 18th interior the all time try to ODI scores for batsmen is an surprising success by utilising anybody's standards yet this does not unavoidably propose he's the tenth-ultimate try batsman or 18th-ultimate ODI batsman interior the background of the sport. The scores supply a demonstration of ways gamers peaked for the period of their careers yet do no longer supply an entire image of those gamers' point of consistency or longevity interior the sport. as an occasion, a batsman or a bowler who averages around seven-hundred scores factors for many of his occupation different than for a pink patch the place he shoots as much as 900 factors in the previous dropping down lower back may well be ranked greater on the all time scores. yet that doesn't propose he could desire to unavoidably be seen to be extra valuable than a participant who hovered around the 850-factor mark for his finished occupation. working example, Waugh's optimal score became into 895 factors in 1997, yet he finished his occupation below 750. Even Ross Taylor at the instant has extra valuable scores than what Waugh had while the later retired. Does this propose Taylor is extra valuable batsman than Steve Waugh? This very plenty clarify this technique.

It seems like everyone in Cleveland is focusing on NBA. Hopefully, the record will be better once the nba playoff is over.

I think that everyone who goes to the Indians' game should neither wear nor buy anything with that tacky, stupid, racist cartoon Indian head logo on it. Ask an American Indian what they think of it. Keep the team name--lose the logo.

yeah I was kind of wondering about that. whenever I watch a replay of a play that happened in their park, there doesn't seem to be very many people in the stands...same with the devil rays.
I'm not an Indians fan btw...
GO GIANTS

the economy in cleveland and ohio in general is very bad and people can't afford to go to baseball games.
