Yeah, I was there. Just as have been since the beginning. There was not but maybe 50-55 thousand in that place yesterday. I don't give a damn what they said was sold.

I mentioned this in another thread.  The upper deck on the east side was extremely sparse, and the west upper deck was only marginally better in the center of the deck.  The lower bowl was never completely full either.  I think you can chalk SOME of that up to the hurricane and what people are dealing with right now.  While the seats may have been sold, it's still expensive to attend a game.  People are having to fork out thousands of dollars to deal with damage caused by the storm.  That certainly has to cut into the entertainment budgets for some folks.  So there probably was a segment of the fan base that simply didn't have the resources this week to attend the game with everything else they're dealing with.

The attendance was definitely disappointing, but the crowd still wanted something to cheer for.  Unfortunately, the team found a way to snuff that out.
