The Tampa Bay Rays began the MLB postseason against the Texas Rangers, but it was not a playoff atmosphere at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Tropicana Field has long struggled with low attendance compared to other MLB teams, and this trend continued during the postseason opener.
Only 19,704 fans witnessed the Rays’ 4-0 loss to the Rangers.
Tampa Bay doesn’t deserve a #MLB team. The Rays are in the postseason and yet there’s low attendance…only 19,000 in attendance. Their fanbase doesn’t appreciate a baseball team. The Rays should relocate to Montreal, Louisville, or any city, which deserves a team. pic.twitter.com/mv4bsEWmLN

This marked the lowest postseason attendance since 1919. (Trending: As Fauci’s Net Worth Surpasses $11 Million, Americans Take A Closer Look At His Disturbing Lies)
Despite the Rays’ impressive postseason track record, including a 2020 World Series run, fan support at Tropicana Field has been consistently low.
The franchise aims to improve attendance at its upcoming $1.6 billion, 30,000-seat future ballpark.
