Guess the Yard Goats attendance for 2017

[TheDoggPound]

2,935 and 3,153 for the first two weeknight games. Hmmm.

Guy, you guessed >3,900. Don't @ me

2nd in EL attendance at 5,202. Richmond at 5,245. Weekday avg will rise when summer roles in. My prediction could be right on the money.

Trying to call me out on two different boards? I'll say it here too for you. Averaging 4,900 so far with two big opening weekends. The calendar just turned to May. Long season. Lots of weekday games to factor in there.

Yea, and the attendance will only get better when school lets out for the summer. Derp.

4,875 right now. The last Saturday rain out took away a sellout but this weekend 3/3 sellouts. More of that to come.

I hope so. And I hope some of that development around that area actually follows. I wouldn't have any issue being wrong here. But I also don't have any faith in Hartford actually getting something right either.

I'm worried about the development - not worried about attendance / future attendance. And I'm not so much worried about the city winning its lawsuit v. Centerplan but the stalling that's taking place is still a set back and sucks.

Look at the timeline for Front Street. It took ten years to get up and running. This will probably be similar.

Couldn't some Hartford area corporation step up for naming rights of the stadium?!

Butch, it is already named by a sponsor.

Thanks. I didn't know that.

But there won't be anyone left in Connecticut then.

I went to Front St for lunch yesterday. It was pretty unimpressive. Cap Grille, Teds Montana Grill and Bear's. It's out of the way to get to, seemed like limited on-street parking. I'd be curious to see if those businesses last there.

I like the Infinity and Bear's, the only places I've been to there, but agree it's not too convenient and I suspect that there must be--or at least have been--some type of rent subsidy to encourage the development, and wonder how many businesses will ultimately survive if and when they aren't subsidized.
