I guess the sad thing about this is that a team who has won two World Series in fairly recent history, gets Montreal Expos type attendance numbers.

Or perhaps even 1960s Chicago Cubs attendance figures. For example, 1962, the Cubs only drew 609,802, averaging 7,528. And if I recall correctly, they had one game in 1965 with under 800 fans attending.
Times can certainly change for a franchise, as I recall the Expos hitting 2 million plus in 1979-82 when I was in Montreal. When the Olympic Stadium was full, it was deafening. When it was empty, it was the worst stadium in baseball (well, maybe the Kingdome was close)
