They build that beautiful new ballpark for the Marlins and they still only averaged 17k in attendance which equated to only 100 more fans per game than the old stadium.
There is nothing the Panthers can do to get better attendance outside of becoming an elite team going deep into the playoffs annually as Miami will only support a winner and just barely at that.

Can't argue with any of this. I was there when the Dolphins were fighting for the wildcard, and honestly no one seemed to care.
