Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Anyone know how many 2008 Rays season ticket holders there are? Trying to argue our fairly lousy attendance.

If I had to give you an itelligent guess I would say

8,000 give or take. Why? Just because you 8,000 seems about the base number at least through the years. When you go to games you see in the morning’s paper that there were about 10,000 fans and you look around and there are about 2,000ish. Hence, my guess is 8,000. Someone shoot Rick Vaughn’s office a message.

The line it is drawn/The curse it is cast/The slow one now/Will later be fast/ As the present now/Will later be past/The order is/Rapidly fadin'./And the first one now/Will later be last/For the times they are a-changin'..- Bob Dylan

IT'S UNDER NINE THOUSAND!!!

Actually, I’ve heard more than once this year that it’s around 5k, but I don’t have any sources I can cite for this.

I think you're pretty close.

Something tells me the number is between five to six thousand; maybe a little higher based on what I think I’ve read.
