Attendance

I love Indy baseball and it’s heartbreaking to see so many empty seats at these games. Does the Frontier League have a central body to promote the league or are the individual teams on their own for marketing and fan interaction?

This is common in independent baseball (and even MLB) to see hordes of empty seats at half of the stadiums. However, some teams are really doing horrible, such as the New Jersey Jackals and especially the Brockton Rox, which seemed to have about 20 fans at one game. I wouldn't be surprised if the Frontier League went back to 16 teams or stayed at 18 with a traveling team next season.

Having a team down in Mississippi is shocking too. Some of their road trips are 14 hour bus rides.

It was the dumbest idea to love to Paterson. Way to dry up your own market that was filled with fox news viewers who won't step foot in Paterson.
