What would I do with any data? Form hypotheses and look for ways to innovate. It seems that you have an aversion to wanting to know how many actual people turn the gate and I have no idea why. I suppose you think that knowing that number would cause people to criticize someone or something. If so, so what? I think its actually a more honest and important number for the box score than the "paid attendance" which sometimes bears resemblance to the actual game and sometimes not. And finally I'm not "thankful" for any attendance at anything and yes, the Frogs have a great baseball fanbase.
Right, so you want it so you can confirm your hypothesis, which we can all say already is almost certainly true, in order to form a critical opinion. My point was: I don't understand that criticism, attendance for baseball is great and we should be happy for it.
That critique, my original point, is what I'm after. The data point was secondary.
But, your opinion is valid. Let's just move on and talk about lineup building or bullpen mngt in 2017.
