its like 39k.  and if we had a bigger stadium, we would still sellout.  its pretty damn hard to find sox tickets.
you dont have to tell me the reason why people bandwagon, i know perfectly well.  but the fact of the matter is that they are huge bandwagoners.  their avg attendance this year was 22k.  last year it was 17k.  now all of a sudden, all these rays fans show up with rays jerseys, all bought this year, because last year the jerseys were different and they were the devil rays.  bandwagoners suck, plain and simple.  they should be ashamed to be a fan when they win the first series of the postseason.  in their 78th home game (81 home games in a season), they drew 17k fans.  are you shitting me?  right in a race with the sox for the division title, 17,000 fans show up.  fuck rays fans
and yes there are a lot of sox fans, thats why they call it red sox nation, but the core NEW ENGLAND fans have been fans for a long long time.  i know people who watched in misery up until a few years ago.
