here's the thing,that's the number of tickets "sold". i say this because it's been confirmed that half of those tickets were given away and folks who were there last night say there is no way 30k people were at the game. Loria was hiding somewhere to.
Thats what I was getting at in previous posts, Sold vs given away.
Also like you said, how many actually showed up ?
Marlins Park only holds about 39,000 or so...so that 45,000+ will not happen.
I am gonna say 33K+ and then about 9K the next two games after that.
well they claim 14,222 were there tonight

By mid season, Miami management will be calculating the Stadium employees into the attendance numbers
Too me, the attendance is people IN THE SEATS, not how many you sold or gave away, if they dont show up, what have you done, other than steal peoples money.
True but I think it would be hard for us to trust any team's attendance numbers. I'm sure every team inflates their attendance numbers as well as gives away tickets. I know the Tigers give away lots of tickets to the Boys and Girls Club, Veterans groups, and other charity.
You pretty much just have to go by whatever they tell us because it would be unfair to nitpick their numbers and not every other team in baseball when we have no way to verify it. That's why I am saying they will easily pass a million. The Rays had the lowest attendance in baseball last year at 1.5 million. I highly doubt any team will drop half a million below last year's lowest.
