I think there is a decent sized group of MLB fans who are not necessarily hard core team fanatics that live and die with every win and loss, but people who are just looking for a nice summer night out at the ballpark with family or friends, enjoying the food, drinks, atmosphere, and things like fireworks night or bobblehead night. Winning is just a bonus.

Yeah, my late wife and I used to do that a couple of nights a year with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Once the city went woke in the wake of the 2020 riots and covid, we no longer felt safe doing so.

But yeah, late in the season, you could get great tickets from the scalpers for as little as $10 each and so-so tickets for $5. Parking in the U.S. Steel tower was $7 after 5 pm and you could take the "T" for free right across the street from PNC Park. Throw in a $1 hot dog night and game giveaways and you had a great evening.
