Right on!

Drag racing. No labor disputes, no cocaine, no misplaced political activism, just toxic fumes and ground-shaking,bone-rattling excitement watching teams compete for corporate-sponsored jackpots with little to no taxpayer support.

Got Nitro?

FANS SHOULD STRIKE BASEBALL SEPT. 29TH by refusing to attend the final game before a players strike

Even better, show up for the game, buy nothing (food, drinks, hats, etc.), take a seat silently, stand and sing the National Anthem, and then walk out en masse.

Chilling theatre.

DOH!, my mistake.

The numbers are correct, but the teams were ranked by attendance AND number of games played at home.

Seattle does have the higher number at over 2.8 Million, but this is after 66 home games.

New York is 350,000+ less, but that's with only 56 home games.

Thanks j_tull for pointing that out to me.
