Deadspin : There Are Already Lots Of Empty Seats

If you build it … they still won’t come.

Honestly, is anyone really surprised that Marlins Park is barren two weeks after Opening Day? Deadspin.com reported that Miami’s “sellout streak” ended after one game and that this past weekend’s series against the Houston Astros saw an average attendance of 32,020 — 5,000 shy of capacity of this compact, state-of-the-art stadium.

Loudmouth manager Ozzie Guillen returned Tuesday night from a five-game suspension, earned for comments related to Fidel Castro, infuriating locals of Cuban descent and with the Chicago Cubs in town, Guillen’s return – and the Marlins fifth home game of the season – under 25,000 were in attendance.

News flash, even with two World Series victories in the past fifteen seasons, the City of Miami and its residents will never give a rat’s ass about Major League Baseball.

Can we just cut out all the nonsense, ship this team north (or west), make this stadium football-friendly, rename it Orange Bowl Park and give it back to its rightful owners already, the Miami Hurricanes?
