Even in October, the Rays struggle to draw big crowds. During their Wild Card series clash against the Rangers, fans in Tampa Bay did not show out in droves to support their team.
After setting a 104-year attendance low in Game 1, when 19,704 fans filed into Tropicana Field, things got a little bit better for Wednesday’s Game 2, but not by much.
According to Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times, attendance for the second game of the series was 20,198.
