Hey, it’s time to take a look at NCAA Football attendance for the last week. The good news? Division I averaged 29,810 in attendance last week. The bad news? We lead off with an FCS team playing at an NAIA field, so you know there will be good stuff. We’re talking sub-1,000 fans in attendance.…
Below The Box Score, Week of 9/18: A New Longest Game of the Year!
After setting the season record for longest game of the year last week in the Red Sox and Blue Jays going 19 innings, but the Red Sox decided that six hours was not good enough. This week they beat the Rays 13-6 in 15 innings, but managed to drag the game on for 6:05, five…

Below the Box Score, Week of 9/11/17: Destroying The Lowest Attendance of the Year
Well, the Rays have done it again: a new low attendance mark on the season. And the season before that. And the one before that. All the way back to 2006, no team has drawn fewer than 8,000 fans (excluding hurricane-moved games and empty stadium games due to riots). The Rays on Tuesday went way…

Below the Box Score, Week of 8/27/17: Rays Go Sub 8,300!
Having seen the A’s recent attempts at usurping the “Worst attendance in baseball” title from the Rays, Tampa set the bar high this week, by having only 8,264 fans show up for Wednesday’s game against the Blue Jays. That was good enough for not only the season low (by over 500 fans) but also the…
Below the Box Score: Week of 8/21: Another Sub-10k Game in Oakland!
Not to be outdone by the Rays recent attendance struggles, the Athletics opened up this week drawing a meager 9,848 for their game against the Royals on Monday. Of course, this flies directly in the face of the recent trend of high attendance across the league, a trend that continued this week as only four…
Below the Box Score, Week of 8/14: Rays Sub-10K Again!
Once again the Rays have managed to draw fewer than 10,000 fans to a baseball game.

Not to be outdone by the American League, the Reds managed to play…
