Part 7/9:
The dialogue expanded into the current state of Major League Baseball, touching upon Steve Cohen's comments on team performance and attendance. Cohen's observations about fan engagement were met with a nuanced view from the hosts who articulated the reality that attendance often mirrors team success. Both hosts recognized the challenges inherent in asking fans to support a team with poor performance, especially considering logistical issues like weather and costs associated with attending games.
Boomer noted that while it’s easy to critique fan attendance, the high costs of taking a family to a game can deter loyal supporters. He also mused about the potential benefits of retractable roofs in stadiums, enhancing the overall fan experience, particularly in less favorable weather conditions.
