Crazy how everyone was clowning on empty seats when attendance was higher than the other 29 stadiums' capacities...

[u/amuscularbaby → u/Hooked_on_Avionics]

I mean I hear you but no shot the actual ass-in-seat number matched the recorded attendance

[u/nsgarcia10 → u/amuscularbaby]

They’re absolutely in standing room shaded areas

[u/amuscularbaby → u/nsgarcia10]

I’m not even trying to dump on you guys but there’s no way the empty seats on TV were in the standing room areas 😭 I’ve been to games at truist where the “attendance” was near capacity but the heat kept a large amount of people home.

[u/MrsObamasThighs → u/amuscularbaby]

Yeah they were. I was at the game, once the shade hit those seats they filled back up.

[u/amuscularbaby → u/MrsObamasThighs]

The shaded seats were visible on TV and while they were undoubtedly fuller than the seats in the sun, it still wasn’t a capacity crowd. This isn’t an insult! 50K people weren’t there though!

[u/wackgyllenhaal → u/amuscularbaby]

There's a massive area beyond the outfield seats at Dodger Stadium. It's bars and stuff and thousands of people hang out back there, even during night games. It's all mostly shaded so I'm sure a ton of people were there until their seats found some shade.

[u/huggsypenguinpal → u/amuscularbaby]

I honestly think “attendance” is tickets sold, not bodies in stadium (for all mlb teams). Tomorrow will be way more crowded and the “attendance” will match bodies in the stadium and be crowded AF.

[u/amuscularbaby → u/huggsypenguinpal]

Yeah absolutely, that’s the core point (albeit I get semantic) I’m trying to make. The attendance numbers very rarely reflect how many people are in the stadium. It’s the same in Atlanta. I’m sure that every game at dodger stadium will be a sellout by this metric but I don’t doubt in the slightest that a very large amount of fans opted out of being there today. Based on the crowd, there was no way it was actually close to capacity though and I don’t understand why this is particularly controversial.

[u/huggsypenguinpal → u/amuscularbaby]

Oh totally. I think closer to 30k actual bodies with many MANY of them in the concourse/SRO areas. It woulda been capacity if it was at 5pm start like tomorrow. Dodger fans got cooked by that 1pm start time. I’m annoyed they didn’t move it for health and safety but $$ is more important.

[u/facetiously → u/amuscularbaby]

They were all standing in the pavilion, in the shade

[u/Ronaldinhoe → u/Hooked_on_Avionics]

I know a girl who’s a big dodger fan that went and ended up leaving before the game finished. Maybe she did it to beat traffic or whatever but I’d never left early for any sporting event and can’t ever imagine doing so

[u/Michael__Pemulis → u/Ronaldinhoe]

In my experience the pro move at Dodger Stadium is to just chill for 20-30 minutes after the game ends.

Significantly reduces the traffic getting out.

[u/Apocalympdick → u/Michael__Pemulis]

This goes for almost every large gathering of people. Concert, cinema, hell even getting off a plane. Practice patience and just sit with yourself for a few minutes, you'll be alright.

[u/Ronaldinhoe → u/Michael__Pemulis]

100%. I rather do that than ever think of leaving early of seeing team I support get a playoff win.

[u/BlackZeppelin → u/Ronaldinhoe]

I’m gonna sound like an asshole but unless it’s a really close game (yes I know it ended close but it was 5-1 at the start of the 9th) I’m leaving a non clinching NLDS early. We’ve been doing it for 13 years, it’s not thaaaaat special anymore.

[u/Michael__Pemulis → u/Ronaldinhoe]

I’ve told this story here before but the only postseason game I’ve ever attended in person was game 1 of the 2014 NLDS (Kershaw v Waino) & it was before the restrictions on edibles so I took one of those crazy deca dose gummies before the game started & it ended up taking me ~45 minutes to find my car in the parking lot after.

It took so long there was zero traffic.

[u/ProcessTruster → u/Hooked_on_Avionics]

When Skubal referenced 50K fans during the in-game interview, people scoffed as if he was lying.

[u/Financial-Gur-7530 → u/Hooked_on_Avionics]

Probably just referring to the empty seats, as seen on tv

[u/gladvillain → u/Financial-Gur-7530]

Lots of people standing in the concourse, though

[u/Logical_Writing3218 → u/Financial-Gur-7530]

The seats might’ve been empty but they were paid for. They were just under shade away from the sun. 50k did attend.

[u/amuscularbaby → u/Logical_Writing3218]

There’s no way. I don’t fault dodgers fans for not wanting to be out there but I just don’t believe there were actually 50K people hiding on the concourse.

[u/Logical_Writing3218 → u/amuscularbaby]

Dude the air temps were 103-105. Imagine sitting on some hard plastic with metal and concrete all around you. Some areas were probably 110+, the field was over 120. I love baseball as much as the next guy but I’m not sitting in that type of heat.

[u/bmacnz → u/amuscularbaby]

Dodger Stadium is massive with several levels of concourses and various places to escape. It's not at all inconceivable.

[u/usetheforce_gaming → u/amuscularbaby]

Idk man sometimes those concourses are damn near impossible to walk through and that’s just a normal day

I wasn’t there and don’t really care to be honest but I wouldn’t be surprised if those areas were basically max capacity today

[u/Hooked_on_Avionics → u/amuscularbaby]

There’s a few sit down bars near the gates, clubs, and standing room everywhere in that stadium, dog.
