2013 St.Louis Cardinals Attendance Statistics

To sum up this years attendance in one word, "Fantastic." During the season the Cardinals averaged over 42,000 in attendance during each game played at home this season. That is pretty impressive for a team with a small "cough, cough" market. In actuality the Cardinals Market is really big because it stretches all the way to Oklahoma and Nebraska and parts of the South. The Cardinals have the largest radio network in Major League baseball with more affiliates than anyone else. Of course you have to have people listening to those games and looks like the Cardinals have the fans that care.

As you can see the Cardinal fans came out in droves this year to support this team which was fun to watch, not because they could out slug the opponent but because they were the best all time at driving runs in while in scoring position and were fun to watch on defense. It looks like the Cardinals are in good hands for a while with Matheny and the likes of Yadier Molina for at least a few years.
