Breaking News: Miami Marlins Struggle with Low Attendance at LoanDepot Park
Dismal Turnout for Marlins Game Against Colorado Rockies
Even with Jeffrey Loria no longer at the helm, the Miami Marlins continue to face significant challenges in attracting fans to LoanDepot Park. The latest game against the Colorado Rockies on Monday evening saw a disheartening turnout, with only 5,894 spectators officially recorded. However, media reports suggest that the actual number of attendees was closer to 1,100, painting a stark picture of the team’s struggle to draw a crowd.
Comparative Attendance Figures
For comparison, teams in lower circuits are faring better in terms of attendance. The Quebec Capitols sold 3,630 tickets for their Friday game at the Canac Stadium. This highlights the Marlins’ difficulty in attracting fans, even when competing against teams with fewer resources.
Historical Context and Future Implications
The atmosphere at LoanDepot Park was described as “mortuary,” reminiscent of the final years of the Montreal Expos, who played in nearly empty stadiums before their relocation. As of 2025, the Marlins rank 28th in Major League Baseball for home crowds, averaging just 11,944 spectators per game. They trail only the Oakland Athletics and the Tampa Bay Rays, who play in less suitable venues.
The “A’s” play at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, which seats approximately 14,000, while the Rays are at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, with a capacity of around 11,000. This underscores the Marlins’ unique challenge in drawing fans despite having a stadium that can accommodate larger crowds.
Expert Insights and Future Outlook
Experts suggest that the Marlins’ low attendance could be due to a variety of factors, including the team’s performance, marketing strategies, and the overall appeal of the sport in the region. To improve attendance, the team may need to focus on enhancing the fan experience, engaging with the community, and delivering consistent on-field success.
