Rob Neyer notes that minor league attendance suffered this season, probably due to the economic downturn. I would think the that attendance might go up in the minors, since it’s a much cheaper option than a major league game. You can go to three minor league games for the price of one major league game.
But most of those are in markets where it’s inconvenient to get to a major league park. So not unexpected. People don’t have the cash.
@Rob McMillin: Thanks Rob. I forget I’m lucky enough to be within two hours of three major league teams and a number of minor league teams.
