Regarding Hootie's stupid point about Cardinal attendance during lean years:
They've done it. That was the point of the attendance figures that you didn't get. The Cardinals were terrible in the '70s. Their cumulative record was under .500 from 1988-99, yet they were always drawing 25-30K+.
Kansas City is a bandwagon sports town. It always has been. The "Sporting" bullshit is just another example, as is the desolation of Arrowhead during the Pioli era and the sudden emergence of all these Royals die hards who have to hand wash cool all of their regalia.
