Fans flock to Missouri ballparks
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The play of the Kansas City Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals pales in comparison to the championship seasons last year, but that hasn't stopped fans from packing the ballparks.
Kansas City should set a record of more than 2.3 million fans, although the team operates in one of the smallest major league markets and has little chance of winning the American League West.
St. Louis expects to draw enough fans in its final 13 home games to finish between 2.49 million and 2.51 million, second only to the record 2,662,000 fans who watched the Cardinals win the National League pennt last season.
Officials of both clubs attributed attendance this year to enthusiasm carried over from last season, when the two teams played in the World Series.
The final 300,000 fans are crucial to the Royals, who have a break-even mark of 2 million.
Joe Burke, president of the Royals, said a key was to draw more people in the slow months of April and May and in September, when attendance traditionally drops off.
Both Kansas City and St. Louis began the season with a solid base of season ticket holders. The Royals sold 14,686 season tickets this year, fourth in the major leagues behind the Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers and California Angels.
