For instance, I read that back when they played at the old stadium in Miami, the average attendance was higher than after they moved to Wrigley Field—even though Wrigley is incomparably more comfortable with that roof covering nearly 35k people.
Comfort? Maybe not. But results? Absolutely. In the last five years, the Los Angeles Dodgers have snatched up three titles and five cups at the Landfill—which would be a brutal run even for Red Star. When you combine that with the insane, borderline chaotic atmosphere at the Landfill... well, who wouldn't show up? Once they moved to Wrigley Field, they haven't been champions of the former league again. Plus, they added that track between the fans and the players—so there's probably a reason for that too. Honestly, those tracks at soccer stadiums are just terrible.
