Excellent Analysis of MLB-Wide Attendance Myths
For those that enjoy the business side of baseball - Tom Verducci of SI.com has a great analysis of some of the current "myths" surrounding attendance and the MLB. I think this is the kicker:
"Baseball is not without its challenges when it comes to attendance, but its main one is the same one facing every sport, not to mention Hollywood: How do you keep the in-person experience special in the face of connectivity options that were intended to be complementary but grow to become competition? If DVRs and large, high-def flat screens and whiz-bang camerawork made the couch more attractive than 50-yard line seats, what more erosion will come from 3D TV refinement and other advancements?"
