@DanZangrilli Agree. ST are definitely an older generations. Now with ballpark passes and resale, younger generations see no value to investing in ST packages. Takes playoff games create market scarcity.

Yup. Season tickets - both full and partial plans - are the lifeblood and backbone of any sports franchise and their attendance success/shortcomings. I’d venture a guess that record season ticket sales in the history of the Pirates franchise was 2015 (or likely 2016). No one was picking up the phone saying, “Sign me up for 81!” after 2025. Attendance figures are very much delayed gratification from sustained and substantial on-field results. No great secret.

@cecere412 @BobSmizik Source?

@BobSmizik Pirates are the 6th highest ticket price in baseball right now average wise. That’s ridiculous.

Winning team. Splendid spring night. Best ballpark in America. The great Paul Skenes on the mound. Tickets sold: 13,515. Actual people in stands: Somewhat less. Please don’t tell me Pittsburgh is a great baseball town. Or even a good one. It’s a mediocre baseball town. #Pirates.

@JMackey_PGH This needs to be posted in every middle school locker room.

Last night, Don Kelly made a decision that was questioned externally because it didn't work out. Tonight, the opener strategy worked to perfection. I asked Brandon Lowe about Pirates players' belief in Kelly. His answer was impressive.

@colin_beazley Old news.

The Pirates’ starting rotation is always trying to better each other. They use a model of Pittsburgh’s skyline as a scoreboard. “If you're the tallest building, you're the biggest, baddest building out there. If you're on the bottom, you're the worst.”post-gazette.com/sports/pirates…

@DonnRunyan @MPFrazer while having a world renowned children’s hospital... We have one, too... and it saving children from dying of household poisonings around the world.

@MPFrazer Philadelphia gets credit for the computer, soda, the lightning rod, toilet paper roll, odometer, gum, all while being the birthplace of American freedom, while having a world renowned children’s hospital, all while having infinitely better food

Calls Pittsburgh irrelevant. Things originating in Pittsburgh: Polio vaccine, ferris wheels, public television, commercial radio, nuclear submarine engines, pull tabs on cans, retractable domes, gas stations, movie theaters, baseball stadiums, bingo, Zippo lighters, Daylight Savings Time...to name a few things. Also a leader in AI, robotics, medical research & education, manufacturing. Was once a worldwide leader in steel and glass manufacturing when those two industries were among the biggest industries in the world. Not to mention sports championships: Steelers (6), Pirates (5), Penguins (5), Riverhounds (1), Pitt Panthers football (9 claimed, 8 unclaimed). The only things irrelevant in this conversation is Jordie and Barstool. Hey @barstoolsports, come get your child. He clearly needs his chicken nuggies and a nap.

@hula5150 @ClayTravis Im sure they will do something else monumentally stupid and create a new low for themselves

@ClayTravis I don't think "The Athletic" could have been a bigger failure than it is

1. I still work for Fox Sports. 2. Outkick made more money in 2021, the year I sold it to Fox, than the Athletic has made in its entire history. Other than that, you nailed it.
