AL attendance - (KC leads AL Central?)
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

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.

I really liked the old stadium, but something had to be done
With just 20,000 people there, the lower level was unbearable to walk around before and after the game. Which wasn’t a problem most weeknights.

I think its more
“Let’s go see what this is all about.” I’m not sure this kind of attendance is at all sustainable if they continue to suck.
