The
last time we took a look at
Baseball-Reference's nifty
"2010 vs. 2011 Attendance" page, the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays had the most improved attendance, while crowds for the LA Dodgers and Seattle Mariners dwindled.
Let's take a quick peek at how the teams are doing tonight, the 23rd anniversary of the Cubs' first night game, 8/8/88.

As you'll see in the numbers below, Texas is still leading the pack after their surprise AL Pennant win last season. Pittsburgh Pirates fans started showing up after their unfamiliar competitiveness in July. The Padres numbers reverted back to 2010 numbers, as they are only 27 tickets sold per game above last season's pace. Lastly, the typically embarrassing fans in Atlanta are ranked 28th out of 30 teams, even though their team is currently leading the Wild Card race, with
a 75% chance of making the playoffs per Coolstandings. At the top of the list, we expect a couple of teams pass the reeling Pirates, as the World Champion Giants - now featuring
Carlos Beltrán - and the up and coming Cleveland Indians - with new Ace,
Ubaldo Jiménez - are poised for late season runs.
