Fan tweets that 347 people were in attendance for Marlins game

The Marlins played an unscheduled doubleheader with the Reds yesterday, which of course, meant ticket sales would be on the low side. And that’s being generous. The Marlins are known for having some rather weak crowds for games but one fan tweeted exactly how terrible it was.

Unofficial count of 347 at sunlife for first pitch…myself included! Counted by hand. Still not the smallest crowd I’ve seen here

Here is picture evidence.

I’ve seen my fair share of poor franchises in my hometown of Detroit. The Detroit Pistons in the teal era, the Red Wings before Steve Yzerman, the Lions during Matt Millen, and even the 2003 Tigers that lost 119 games. But never, in all those years, have I seen a crowd like that.

And from a franchise that has two World Series titles in the last 15 years. A shame really…a damn shame.

What'd you think of this?
