Background:
For a look at the 2007 Devil Rays attendance, click here.
(These numbers exclude “home” games played at the Disney Wide World of Sports from April 22-24, 2008.)
(Up % = Percentage of games where attendance for that variable was higher than the previous game at Tropicana Field. For example, if Monday attendance was 18,000 and Tuesday was 18,001, Tuesday = up. Also, if 10,000 fans attended a James Shields game and 15,000 fans attended a Scott Kazmir game the next day, Kazmir = up. Opening Day is neither up nor down.)
