The Tampa Bay Rays’ American League Wild Card Series opener had an exceptionally low attendance with only 19,704 fans at Tropicana Field on Tuesday. This number marks the lowest attendance for a postseason game since 1919, excluding the period of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The record for lowest attendance was previously set in 1919 during a game between the Reds and White Sox, which drew only 13,923 fans, with the Reds being criticized for mishandling ticket availability.
On Tuesday night, the Tampa Bay Rays lost 4-0 in front of a crowd that was approximately 5,300 below the stadium’s capacity. The late scheduling of the start time, announced by Major League Baseball on Sunday evening, may have contributed to the low attendance numbers.
