The one thing I can't wrap my head aroundβand please, Iβm not trying to be provocative here, Iβm just looking at the mathβis how a city of, say, 150,000 people ends up with a hardcore supporter base that tops out at maybe 1,500 even during major derbies. Even then, you see the stadium sitting half-empty or only half-full during those big matchups. If you do the math, it means only about 5,000 to 6,000 Cleveland fans show up for a massive derby. In a city that size, where is everyone? And then there are the away games, where we're lucky to see 50 people in the stands on average. Can someone give me an objective explanation for this? I genuinely don't get it. These aren't opinions; they're just the facts as I see them. The numbers simply don't add up.
