What is this? Here's a snapshot: there were ~150K for 3 baseball and 1 soccer game on the weekend with a club not in a playoff position playing a mediocre Whitesox team on what was the nicest weekend of the year for outdoor stuff.
Seahawks have never played below 50K during decades of futility. All the while, there is a sudden surge of 12th man flags throughout the lower mainland with its media bragging about the impact of Canadians on the Seahawks record breaking season ticket base while its perfectly good local team in the Lions barely crack 25K in a 60K stadium.
Seattle has a rabid and loyal fan base compared to Vancouver's ankle breakers.
Oh yeah, tonight is going to have an awesome atmosphere with real consequences. Most meaningful series of the year if not of the past decade for M's fans. I'll be there but outnumbered by Blue Jay rooting family members.
