Isn't zero the average attendance for a Marlins home game?

They will be logging the attendance officially as N/A in the record books.

Serious question: if you're insinuating you brought a gun to a baseball game, why?

Why not, not against the law, just don't bring the gun into the stadium

That's interesting to note. Teams go by sold tickets, so literally no one who bought a ticket could show up and it wouldn't be any different than if 100% showed up. Since tickets were sold for the game and it is an official game, there should be an attendance. They also use the N/A for the second games of standard(not day/night) doubleheaders, since all the attendance counts towards one game.

I would imagine this will be very difficult for the players to concentrate in such a strange setting. It will sound like batting practice/ pre-game warm ups.

I'm not a member of the NRA or a gun fanatic, but maybe it's my right to?? Maybe I'm a police officer?? Maybe I put it back in the car afterwards?? Camden Yards 100% allows police officers to take firearms into the game.

I clearly remember that season for the A's. Growing up, the early 70's A's were my favorite team, and just stuck with them.

1979, freshman year in college. The first baseman mentioned in article was Dave Revering. He would routinely count and personally report attendance. If the official attendance was stated at 3000, he would say he only counted 600.

Also had an article taped to my dorm room wall saying: "Finley to sell A's for 6 million."

Sad day for Baltimore; sadder day for Baseball.

True story...I was at a Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game about 4 or 5 years ago...they have berm seating where you just sit in the grass and the guy in front of me had a gun down the back of his pants. I could have just grabbed it right out if I wanted to...or any kid could have done the same thing. After noticing this I took my family to the upper deck seats.

Just saw the highlights from todays game. There were not too many more fans at last night's Braves-Nationals game!
