Ok so there was something of a minor storm of positive feeling heading into the home opener, but it didn't seem to greatly impact attendance. At what point do people start to get a little bit more interested? I think it would have been there if Sunday had not been Easter. That produced a very small crowd (11,000) and negated any effect of a larger crowd on Saturday. That being said, I don't think positive feeling should only be looked at as impacting the immediate home games, but other games throughout the season. Certainly walk-up attendance is a good measure, but there are certainly people who buy tickets a week, a month, or more, in advance.
