I'm looking ahead to Reds in Cincinnati in May. This weekend the Chicago White Sox come in. Also in May are The New York Mets, The New York Yankees and The St Louis Cardinals. Reds in home series play are 2 wins, 1 loss, 2 ties so far.
The St Louis Cardinals are close to Memorial Day. Reds spend Memorial Day weekend at Chicago Cubs, Reds spend Fathers Day on the road. Reds spend 4th of July on the road. MLB did Reds no favors on the schedule for Holiday Fans. With one exception. The weekend before 4th of July has The San Diego Padres in Cincinnati around July 1st, and anymore many celebrate The 4th on the weekend before. So that Friday, Saturday and Sunday should be a 4th of July crowd off work for the weekend and very 4th of July Baseball.
A look ahead shows June starts with a Joey Votto bobblehead game. The question is will the Reds highest paid player be back, or will he still have not played any of this season. It would be odd if the only Joey Votto of the season at that point would be his bobble head and not Joey Votto himself.
Look for fans to travel. Chicago Fans show up in Cincy. I expect New York fans to show up in Cincy. St Louis fans always show up in Cincy. Reds should sell plenty of tickets, even if a good part of the crowd at GABP in May are Chicago, New York and St Louis Fans making the trip to Ohio to see their teams. They may even find it easier to get a good seat at GABP than Yankee Stadium. Reds should sell plenty of tickets in May to GABP full of home fans and many fans of the visiting teams. Good, The Reds Owners could use the boost in attendance to attain money for 2024 team.
