That’s so incredibly ****ing stupid.
The KC economy is at its highest point EVER, and civic pride is at an all-time high. This town supported its baseball team through one of the greatest recessions in history while the team was GOD AWFUL and you think low opening day numbers indicate a lack of support? The effects from the WS win go far beyond ticket sales. There are more kids in this region who are diehard Royals fans than there have ever been...merch sales, ad dollars (look at the big-name sponsors in the stadium now...the local companies are now national ones)...this all contributes to the team’s bottom line.
Weather 100% played a role in the empty seats on Thursday. And it will again on Saturday.
KC is doing a fine job supporting its three pro teams. Your fears are nonsensical.
