will you still fill the stands? Will attendance still be right around the tops in the bigs?
...or, if the Cards actually suck for 4-5 years in a row ... will the following dwindle?
Basically, in my adult life, the Cardinals have always been good and have always competed. I want to see them be terrible for a few years and I want to see what happens. Would love to see that fan base eat some crow after all of these years.
...really, really easy to cheer for a winner. Let's see how you guys handle a loser.

If only there were like dozens of years of crowd histories to prove how St. Louis fans supported the team when it was bad in the 70s and 90s.
Always fun to be lectured by a guy that was a Cubs fan until they tanked then discovered the Royals right around the time they became good to lecture us about fairweather, though.
