MLB Playing to a Tough Crowd
An interesting article that talks about why New Stadiums Aren't the Draw They Used to Be.

When it comes to professional sports and baseball in particular it is a winning team that fills seats. Not new staduims, not big name superstar players but wins. Most of the teams in the article who have new stadiums are really crappy.

 it's sad that baseball teams (the detroit tigers, for instance) think that simply by building a snazzy, shiny new ballpark, we're going to waste our money and our time to see the pathetic product they're putting on the field. |

bud seilig will go down as one of the worst commissioners in baseball's history.
everytime I read anything that has to do with the brewers, i get irked. and the fact that baseball has over-expanded, and bud's trying to retract GOOD teams.... and even trying to strong-arm minny into building a new stadium (why?!?!?!, we're seeing it's not going to draw in more attendance), i dunno...he's a freakin retard.
