Marlins' Attendance Struggles: A Wake-Up Call for Baseball Fans

The Miami Marlins’ ongoing battle with low attendance figures is a stark reminder of the importance of fan support in sustaining professional sports teams. Despite a promising start to the 2024 season, with a near-sellout crowd on Opening Day, the Marlins have struggled to attract fans to loanDepot Park, raising concerns about the team’s long-term viability in the city. According to recently released statistics from Baseball Reference, the Marlins are tied for the second-worst percentage of stadium capacity filled so far in 2024, averaging only 40% of the 36,742-seat loanDepot Park.
