MLB ATTENDANCE AT RECORD HIGH AFTER TWO WEEKS
I read this article on ESPN.com just now. MLB's attendance is the highest ever after two weeks, just eclipsing the previous record set in 1993.

This article is short but offers up some reasons why the numbers might be skewed because of the big early season matchups (New York @ Boston) and Bonds' pursuit of 660. It's an interesting point, but I think a stronger argument could be made saying that the numbers should actually be higher.

Fenway Park only holds about 35,000 or whatever and would be sold out or at least close to it no matter who played there. Most of the stadiums that are being built now hold less than 45,000, so imagine what some of the opening day attendance figures would have been like it places like San Diego, Houston, Detroit, Cincinnati, and other new parks that sold out would be able to hold five to ten-thousand more like they did in the older stadiums.

Needless to say though, it is nice to see that interest in baseball is returning. It took ten years but the lingering effects of the 1994 strike seem to finally be diminished.
