‘Quite the turnout’ – Historic MLB franchise suffers embarrassing attendance just third of the way into 2025 season ...Middle East

AN iconic Major League Baseball team suffered more embarrassment this week with an attendance disaster.

The Miami Marlins, who are last in the division with a 23-36 record, hosted the league-worst Colorado Rockies in South Florida.

loanDepot Park in Miami, has a capacity of 37,000.

But according to the ballpark announcer, Monday’s game, won 6-4 by the Rockies, was watched by just 5,894 people.

That means just 16 per cent of the stadium was full.

However, a picture taken just before the first pitch of the night has gone viral online, with more than one millions views.

Fans could hardly believe how empty the stadium was, with a few stragglers dotted around.

One said: “Quite the turnout. How do those two franchises stay in business?”

A second wrote: ‘You couldn’t give the tickets away even if you wanted.”

“Nice ballpark though,” added David Samson, the former president of the team.

While another replied: “More people have seen this post than saw the game.”

To be fair, Miami-Dade County, where the Marlins play, was hit with some severe storms on Monday.

But the Marlins’ attendance has been a huge problem since LoanDepot Park opened in 2012.

The team has made the playoffs just twice since then, and is currently averaging the third-lowest attendance in the league at just 11,944 fans.

The Rockies, meanwhile, have had a historically bad start, losing 50 of their first 60 games.

They are the third-fastest team to 50 losses in the history of professional baseball.

But the Marlins lost to them for the second consecutive night on Tuesday.

Colorado go for a series sweep against the Marlins on Wednesday.
