Mets attendance down 23% (CNBC)

SS

Interesting story:  http://www.cnbc.com/id/30437102
 

And how about the Mets, who at first glance are averaging an attendance decline of 23.4 percent. But they are actually drawing more of a capacity crowd (90.8 percent) through the games that they've played so far as compared to the percent capacity they drew in Shea (86.5 percent).

 

The author suggests that the attendance isn't "really" down 23% because the capacity is less...but if the stadium isn't full why does the capacity matter?  Have Tom Seaver unretire and start tomorrow night and you'd be able to draw 100,000.
