That KC has the highest attendance in the AL Central is something for four other teams to be embarrassed about.

It looks like KC leads the all important attendance per win category

In actual attendance, Detroit, Minnesota, and Chicago are over 2 million, while KC is at 1.6 million.

I'll have to rethink my criticism of Moore's extension

I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.

I guess fans really do care about the push for 65 wins

New Stadium.

That’s why attendance is good.

Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.

A shame the pre-renovations stadium

was so under-appreciated, then.

It was always a beautiful building, and tickets were and are very affordable. If I lived in the area, I’d have attended every game I could physically drag myself to. Instead, I’m in NYC trying to decide if I should shell out to see the Royals at new overpriced Yankee next week. There are bargain tickets to be found on the secondary market, but only high up and in corners where you can’t see half the field.

Which is not to say

I don’t like living in NYC. Except for my baseball fandom, I’m very much a New Yorker at heart. But I certainly wish I was in daily driving distance of a stadium as beautiful and affordable to attend as the K.
