Tigers attendance woes worsen as losing builds

The Detroit Tigers are in the midst of a full-on rebuild, and the attendance at Comerica Park this season reflects just that.

According to Crain’s Detroit Business, the Tigers are “averaging nearly 4,000 fewer fans per game after 30 games at 41,083-seat Comerica Park this season. That’s a decline of nearly 20 percent per game compared with the first 30 games of last season”.

The article continues:

After Thursday afternoon’s 6-1 loss to Tampa Bay, which drew an announced crowd of 21,442, the Tigers are averaging 16,701 a game. That ranks 27th among Major League Baseball’s 30 clubs.

Detroit averaged 20,563 fans through first 30 games of 2018, and 23,212 for the full slate of 81 home games. That means they’re currently down 3,862 per game, or 18.7 percent, year over year.

Based on TMR’s published numbers — an average price of $28.31 plus a $5 beer, $4.75 soft drink, $5 hot dog, $19.19 for a Tigers hat, and $10 for parking — an individual fan is worth $73.05 to the Tigers.

If there are 3,862 fewer fans per game, that’s $282,199 less revenue created per game. Over the season, that’s $22.8 million.
