I love the bandwagon comments. The Brewers had a better attendance pct than the Cardinals ( http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance/_/sort/homePct ) despite having a smaller metropolitan area than St. Louis ( http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_NSRD_GCTPL2.US24PR&prodType=table ). Also, the last time I watched the Brewer vs Cardinal game in St. Louis, I was literally the only person paying attention to the game in the bar. On the way back I had to catch the rest of the game on Cardinal radio with Mike Shannon (see: http://bitsandpieces1.blogspot.com/2005/08/collection-of-shannonisms.html) and the amount of doom and gloom coming from fans calling in after the game was pretty entertaining. I guess you can't really generalize fans that call into sports talk radio, because Milwaukee gets pretty ridiculous. You don't get 3 million fans in a season by a simple band-wagon. Maybe the Brewers bandwagon started in 2006, because they've been above the NL average since then. Even non-playoff seasons of 2008,2009 had the same attendance percentages as the Cardinals... the Cardinals even won the Central in 2009 and the Brewers out-paced the Cardinals in terms of park percentage full (http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance/_/year/2009/sort/homePct). Brewers were below 500 that year. It's not like we're the Rams who went from having a small fan base for their new franchise in St. Louis, to selling out games when they were good, to being third last in attendance (http://espn.go.com/nfl/attendance/_/year/2010). And that's for a sport with 8 home games a year.
