I know what you mean. There are 162 games in a baseball season. Probably too many games! With football, you had 14, recently 16 games a season. Every game was meaningful and you had a whole week to prepare for it.

I grew up in Boston so when I was a kid, I used to take the Green Line over to Fenway and watch games for $1.25. That's all it used to cost for a bleacher seat, well into the 1970s. My newspaper route money would cover that easy. Hot dogs were 35 cents and if I ordered a beer, they did not give me too hard a time, even though I was maybe 13 or 14.

When you think about it, 30000+ average attendance is pretty darn good.
