Is it the condition of the stadium or the change in affiliation from Phillies to Yankees in 2007?
There is no historic information for the stadium on the Yankees AAA website. Seems that poor management is playing a role in fan apathy.

The owner of recently closed Brannigan’s Restaurant referred to Scranton area as “...a disaster economically.”
I also noted 2 other restaurants closed and a long established trucking company.
The demise of mining, railroads, and steel mills/foundries pretty much killed the Scranton/W-Barre area. And my reading indicates that going up I-81 to Binghamton area leads to more economic decay...

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre is a pretty depressed area. They’ve thrown a lot of money at that sports complex over the years as well as Montage (a ski area). Nothing seems to work. Maybe it’s the fact that the area de-industrialized like over 20 years ago?
