35k in TB

[FWHORN]

10,000 short of a sellout. If they make the world series I wonder if they will finally get sellouts.

Tropicana Field

45k

45k was previous max seating capacity.

This is straight from MLB.com:
"Tropicana Field's capacity is now 36,048."

They did what USC does in the coliseum and removed seating, so yes technically the last two games have been sellouts, i just dont get it, 45k for a baseball playoff game should be easy to hit, why not pull off the tarps and put the seats back in unless they know they couldnt sell them.

 

[n64ra]

That one I can't answer for you. Guess they were scared over 35K wouldn't sell out?

The Rays have been playing in front of a half empty house all year. It really hasn't hurt them. They are really good no matter where they play or how many fans are there.

 

[Beau Vine]

They need to pull the tarps off now so that they can get 10K more Red Sox fans into the game.

Rays ought to love that idea. From MLB.com :

"The Rays went 21-2 when their game attendance topped 30,000. Eight of those wins came against the Red Sox, whose nation of fans once made Tropicana Field feel like a second home over the years. The only Boston win at Tampa Bay this season was the only game of the rivalry that didn't top 30,000."
