Baseball is dying because it used to be the #1 sport in the country, but now football is #1. Therefore, fewer people like baseball today than 40 years ago. Just ask jimanchower. Football is only number one because it has the richest TV contract.

People are gingerly dancing around the real answer, which is that baseball has by far the oldest fan base. Not sure, but the Jays 2 ALCS runs didn't have a ton of grandpas telling Odor to go fcuk himself from the stands & social media.

Blue Jays do not bad at the box office & yet are a major tv draw nearly all season long. Ppl are still fans of baseball, it's just inconvenient financially & time to make a night/day to actually go live. Personally, I like the upper deck cheap seats, so knocking a few brews back isn't as painful an experience. I'm actually shocked NFL stadiums are still mostly full. With timeouts, tv timeouts, & all the rest, sitting outside Sept-Jan for what the NFL charges cannot be that fantastic. Not when the league is so locked in for ideal tv experience. I forgot to add that the Jays' tv market is 40 million Canadians coast to coast to coast. So that's not really apples & oranges. Their regional market is a country. That obviously doesn't translate quite like any other team because ppl in Saskatoon or Fredericton for example don't have the option of going to a game after work or whatever.
