Why has baseball attendance at games decreased in the past ten years?

Answer 1

You are very much mistaken. Major League Baseball attendance is not only higher than it's ever been, but has been increasing over the pat 10 years as well. The attendance number for 2008 was down from last years all time record of 79,503,175, but it's still the second-highest total in the history of Baseball with 78,614,880.

1987 major league Baseball broke the 50 million mark for the first time with 52,011,506, and in 1993 set an all time attendance record with 70,257,938 up from 55,870,466 the year before. 10 years ago in 1999 the attendance was at 70,139,380.
