Tampa Bay Rays Game 27 Attendance Trends 2007-2017

For the last few years, I have looked at Rays attendance at Game 27 and compared it to their end of season attendance. Game 27 is a good point of evaluation as it is 1/3 of the way through the home schedule. No different than teams doing a review of where they stand at Game 54 - 1/3 through their 162 game schedule.

Through Game 27 of the 2017 home schedule, the Rays averaged 15,089. Here is how that average attendance compares to other years.




Interestingly, this was the earliest the Rays reached game 27 in over 10 years. It is also the only time the Rays averaged in the 15,000s. 2017's Game 27 attendance is the 3rd lowest since 2007, topping only 2007 and 2015.

Since 2009, Rays final average attendance has been with 5% of their 2017 average attendance. Only 2007 and 2008 are outstanding from this observation.




The following graph depicts the above chart:




Outside of 2007 and 2015, every time the Rays had a positive gain in attendance, they made the playoffs. Which makes sense as September attendance is highly correlated with playoff potential. If the Rays aren't in contention, Florida sports fans are possibly more likely to tune in to college football or the NFL.

But what makes 2007 and 2015 unique and could 2017 fall into this category? Possibly yes, but I wouldn't be surprised to see no.

In 2007 and 2015, the Tampa Bay Lightning made the NHL Playoffs. I have written several times how Lightning playoffs suppress Rays attendance due to local fan money and time expended on hockey.

With Lightning hockey not an impact for the 2017 Rays home schedule, the team won't see the returning of fans from hockey. They've had the season to themselves yet barely drawn above seasons in which there were other events to occupy local sports fans.

If I were to predict, which I try not to do too often, I would say Rays final average attendance will be between 15,000 and 17,000 in 2017. If the team stays in Wild Card contention - which is possible - they could draw fans to meaningful September baseball.

That would make all the difference.

Tampa Bay Rays May Attendance Review

Welcome to our second monthly review of the Tampa Rays 2017 attendance. This post will look at attendance in games played from May 3, 2017 to May 25, 2017.
  • Total May 2017 Tampa Bay Rays home attendance: 208,954
  • Average attendance per game: 13,060
  • Highest attendance: 22,864 on Saturday, May 20th
  • Lowest attendance: 9,014 on Tuesday, May 23th
  • Average May game time: 3 hours, 15 minutes
  • Highest attended series: 21,627 per game vs Yankees, May 19-21
  • Lowest attended series: 9,482 per game vs Angels, May 23-25
  • Competing events:
    • May 20: Tampa Bay Storm arena football @ Amalie Arena (9,275)
  • Total Tampa Bay Minor League May attendance: 80,745
  • Tampa Bay Minor League attendance per game: 1,468 (55 games)

Comparing May 2017 with previous years

The following chart compares May 2017 average attendance to other recent years.




The average May 2017 attendance decreased 27% (4,800 less fans per game) than the May 2016 per game average. In the last 11 years, only 2015 and 2007 saw lower May average attendance.

In both 2007 and 2015, there was the impact of the Tampa Bay Lightning playoff season on Rays early season attendance. This season however, the Lightning did not make the playoffs.

Weekdays vs Weekends

Let’s now look at the Rays May attendance on weekdays (Mon-Thurs) and weekends (Fri-Sun). As I have pointed out many times, the Rays usually have one of the biggest differences in Major League Baseball in regards to weekday versus weekend attendance.

May 2017 breakdown:
  • Weekday home games: 10
  • Weekend home games: 6

This chart shows the Rays average weekday attendance in May since 2007.




Weekday May attendance in 2017 decreased an average of 2,623 fans per game, giving the Rays their 2nd lowest weekday May average since 2007. The Rays had 6 games with attendance less than 10,000 tickets sold, similar to 2007

The following chart shows Rays average weekend attendance in May since 2007.




The Rays May weekend average attendance was the 3rd lowest it has been in 11 years, despite a weekend series with the Yankees averaging over 20,000 fans per game.

Conclusion

Rays average attendance dropped from April to May as usual. And May is usually the Rays worst month for attendance. What is concerning however is that attendance is following the same trends as 2007 and 2015, two of the worst years of attendance in the Sternberg era.

With the Lightning out of the playoffs in 2017, there was no major sports competition for dollars. There were 88 Minor League games, but as we will see attendance has not done well there either.

The Rays are playing more exciting baseball recently. I doubt they will have as bad a stretch as they did in mid-2016, when they won 3 games all June. So perhaps the coming of June, the end of school, and the allure of a better team might bump attendance a bit next month.

Doing my residency at Fangraphs

I am proud to announce that I was selected to be a guest writer at Fangraphs.com this month. Fangraphs is one of the premier baseball analysis websites and their writers are among the best in the business. So of course, I could not turn down the opportunity to write about the Tampa Bay baseball market to a much wider baseball audience.

I will still be publishing daily attendance reports here as well as end-of-month charts and graphs throughout June. But the deep analysis will be at Fangraphs this month. I will definitely provide links to those articles.

Which leads me to my first June Fangraphs article: Tampa Bay's Attendance Problem.

Check it out. I cover how Rays attendance has dropped to pre-2007 levels and dive into a few of the eye-opening trends affecting the Rays in recent years.
