Spurred by a Twitter conversation with Cork Gaines from @RaysIndex, I wanted to take a look at early season attendance figures. Using ESPN's handy attendance data, I compared 2008 and early 2009 attendance numbers. Now, early season attendance usually isn't as high as it is later in the season (weather and pennant races being two larger issues) and the new Yankee and Mets ballparks skew the data significantly (smaller capacities, but higher ticket prices). That being said, the relative rankings of the attendance changes can still be useful.
