The Tampa Bay Rays weren’t supposed to be good this season, but they started off their 2019 campaign in first place in the AL East, and are still competitive — fighting for a Wild Card spot, at 46-35.<\/p>\n

And yet, they really struggle in attendance, with fans just not interested in showing up to games.<\/p>\n

Look, Tampa is a beautiful area, and we understand that some would rather hit the beach then the ballpark. And, while we’re on that subject, we should point out that Tropicana Field is a dump, which is why the team has been working on a new stadium.<\/p>\n

To their credit, the team has been running promos in an attempt to fill the stands. Their most recent one includes $2 tickets<\/a> to the team’s upcoming July 1-3 series vs. the Orioles — with $2 peanuts and fountain drinks as well, according to the Tampa Bay Times.<\/p>\n

At a time when they have angered some fans by introducing a plan to split future seasons between Tampa Bay and Montreal, the Rays today announced a significant ticket discount to draw more fans to Tropicana Field next week \u2013 $2 tickets to the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday games against the Orioles.<\/em><\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how many fans take advantage of the promo, as the Rays average roughly 14,545 fans per game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
