Apparently, neither did people in Miami last year at the start of the season.
Mar/Apr/May home attendance (26 games): 347723.
Before the All-Star break, they drew LESS than 10,000 a game 4 times.
What? We are in the wild-card race?
Sept/Aug home attendance (26 games): 513185.
And still, even though the Florida Marlins are your National League pennant winners, only the Devil Rays and Expos drew fewer fans at home and had lower per game averages. While Fenway Park was, on average, at 100.2% full every night, Pro Player Stadium was at 44.8%.
Last year was even worse. Florida failed to draw a million fans for the first time in their history, and only Montreal drew fewer (but not by much-barely 1000 fans).

I think a Funner Fact is that this is the 2nd World Series for the Marlins in 7 years, while the Cubs/Red Sox have been waiting for...however long.  .

A combined 180 years, or 22 years longer than Florida has been a state.
