I've been to a number of games in August, and will probably be at several more.

Wow!!! This evening (Saturday, 8/19) was a perfect evening for baseball! A gentle cool breeze from centerfield kept the 'Blatt a perfect 72. Royals got off to a 5-0 lead and win 5-4.The Brats were wonderful. The beer cold. Come out Sunday! You will not be disappointed.

A decent crowd for Saturday nights game-8,033 (paid)..

Did it look close to that number in actual Coyote?..

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 1:40 pm

I would have guessed 4k. There was a promo going on so I guess that groups presold seats but not all showed up.

Minneapolis Boy · Post by **Minneapolis Boy** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 6:45 pm

I was at last night's game. While it did not look like 8,000 it did look like 6,000 to me. A pretty decent attendance.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 10:52 pm

Such a nice day for today's game. The Zephyr's melted down in the 9th and gave us free extra innings, free bread, and Wags Cowboy and I all got free tickets. And oh yeah - there was a babe watch going on also

It was kids day. 2,660 no shows? No wonder we got free tickets. I got mine from a precious 6 year old girl (mom watching proudly on). Now I know when to attend a game. Watch for promo games where orgs over-buy tickets! At $3.50 for a bottle of water they still got my mulla.

Great company and a great game..With the ORoyals winning in the 11th 8-7

..

The babe-watch was definitely in full effect

..

From my perspective, the crowd looked to be about 5k actual..Our tickets were free..You can't beat that..

FYI Mark..

The New Orleans Zephyrs are the AAA farm club of the Washington Nationals..

(Never would have guessed it

See I don't make the game and they win. Maybe you were right about me Cowboy.

It isn't just you..I was 0-6 before yesterday so anything is possible..

The Nationals? Go figure. I would have put money on the Zephyrs NOT being a Nationals club. Do you know if they were the Expos before that then. This has to be a new arrangement.

Candleshoe · Post by **Candleshoe** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 5:33 pm

I couldn't find any reference to the Zephyrs being affiliated with Montreal, but theywere affiliated with the Milwaukee Brewers when the team moved to New Orleans from Denver in '923. Since the move, they had also been affiliated with the Astros.

Zephyr Trivia, courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Zephyrs
The team was previouslythe Denver Bears of the American Association and Pacific Coast Leagues. The team moved to Denver in 1956 from KC, where they were the "Blues", to make room for the "A's".

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 5:39 pm

Thanks shoe. I thought they were a Houston franchise. I guess Round Rock is now theirs now.

Without our presence the ORoyals lost today.
Geez - what do we have to do to pull our load.
I was there Sat and Sun. I miss Monday and - Dang.

And the atttendance shoots back down to 2,250 for Monday night's game as well..

Omaha Royals total attendance so far for 2006: 295,301..

Only 4 more home games remain:

Get your fannies to a game..(See the Sticky thread at the top of the Sports forum and Join us for the Sunday afternoon game on September 3rd

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

Post by **Omaha Cowboy** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 3:08 pm

The ORoyals lead the entire PCL in attendance last night with 12,050 total at Friday nights game..That pushes the ORoyals to 13th out of the 16 PCL teams with a total attendance mark of 307,351. An average of 4656 per game..3 games in three days at Rosenblatt remain (Sat/Sun/Mon)..I will be in attendance on Sunday as I hope a number of you will join me (see the Sticky thread here)..And possibly on Monday too..

Not lost in this is the fact that Omaha lost 3-2 last night

..

Get out and see one of the remaining ORoyals games!..

Well..Only 2 people joined me for the Sunday game at Rosenblatt (DTO Luv and the1wags) which was dissapointing..But it was a perfect weather day at the park and fun was had by all..

To add to the dissapointment of the meager eomaha attendance, was the ORoyals losing once again to Iowa 7-4 in front of 4,167 fans..The effort was there by the Royals..But just like this entire season, not the talent..

The total ORoyals season attendance now stands at 314,491..

There is 1 home game left..Tommorrow (Labor Day) at 1:35PM in the afternoon..

See if you can make it to the park and show some season ending support for the team..

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

Minneapolis Boy · Post by **Minneapolis Boy** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 12:20 am

I'm hoping to make it to tomorrow's game. Hopefully, they can win after these 2 losses.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 12:52 am

Sorry Lou - I had planned on making it out there yesterday - but a few things just got in the way.

Post by **Omaha Cowboy** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 6:57 am

Well..the1wags and I attended the final ORoyals game of the season at Rosenblatt Monday afternoon..A perfect day for baseball..

Before a fairly decent afternoon crowd of 5,286, Omaha dropped a 4-3 decision and finished at a franchise worst 53-91 for the year..

The ORoyals total attendance for 2006 finshed at 319,777..And although unofficial at the moment of this post, ended up 13th out of the 16 PCL teams in total attendance and per game average..

Hopefully next season, with the good possibility of young prospects playing in Omaha; and better promotion from the new ownership of the team, we'll see an improved attendance and atmosphere for the ORoyals games at Rosenblatt..The trick, seemingly, is to convice Omahans that Rosenblatt Stadium stays open after the College World Series ends

..

In any case, I'll post final totals once the PCL site is updated..

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

Well, I had every intention of going until this little thing we do in life called work got in the way

oh well basketball and hockey season start soon, we can meet up for those games.

Minneapolis Boy · Post by **Minneapolis Boy** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 1:34 pm

I made it yesterday, and it was an awesome day to watch a ball game. The ending of the game was gripping. I too hope that we start seeing better talent promoted to Omaha before going to KC. As the AAA affiliate, we should have the cream of the crop prior to going on to the majors.

Bellevue Kid · Post by **Bellevue Kid** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 1:15 am

A couple days ago Dave Webber said attendance may increase next year because ex-husker Alex Gordon might be playing in Omaha.

Post by **Omaha Cowboy** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 3:25 am

W-H Sports columnist Tom Shatel indicated the same thing in his daily column on Tuesday..

Royals Post Highest Attendance in Four Years

Our Sports Central wrote:The Omaha Royals drew 319,777 fans to Rosenblatt Stadium during their 2006 season, which wrapped up on Labor Day. It was the largest season total for the Kansas City Royals' Triple-A affiliate in the past four years.

This year's total attendance figure was the best for the team since the 2002 season, when 344,718 fans came to watch the Royals play. Omaha's average attendance over 69 home dates in 2006 was 4,634 per game, up from the 4,278 average posted in 2005, an increase of better than eight percent.

The 2006 season, which marked the 19th consecutive year that over 300,000 fans visited Rosenblatt to watch the O-Royals, also brought the club's all-time attendance over the 10-million mark. Since the franchise began play in 1969, a total of 10,228,780 fans have attended the team's games over a total of 2,461 dates. The average attendance in the 38-year history of the team is 4,156.

The 2006 College World Series set a record of 310,609 fans in total attendance.

makeitso-

I'm a little puzzled with your post as this is an Omaha Royals AAA pro baseball thread..Not a college baseball thread..And we all here are already very aware that seemingly every year the CWS sets some sort of new attendance record..

Nonetheless, welcome to the forum..

Can I get a 'say what' and a thread revival please..

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

makeitso · Post by **makeitso** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 8:56 pm

I was just contrasting the CWS figure - which is much closer to a true attendance figure and achieved over 14 sessions - with that of the Royals - over 69 games and inflated by 300%.

Inflated by 300%???? Please explain, I'm interested in this.

the1wags · Post by **the1wags** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 3:41 pm

I'd say someone is trolling. Even in the event of the O Royals inflating their attendance numbers, what is the purpose of comparing this "300% inflated" number to the CWS numbers other than to try to drag the Royals through the mud? This is also going on in the Knight hockey thread and I, for one, am tired of it. If you don't happen to enjoy a local sports product, or a restaurant, or whatever, then don't go. But getting on a internet website and starting to rip on whatever event/establishment for the sole purpose of stirring the pot is the act of someone who has too much free time, to put it nicely.
