The attendance-challenged Marlins plan to allow fans at home games, although crowds will initially be limited to about 25% of capacity. “We look forward to having the opportunity to have fans come back to our ballpark,” CEO Derek Jeter said Monday. The Marlins averaged about 10,000 fans in 2018 and 2019, the first two seasons that Jeter’s group owned the team. The 2020 season might have brought an increase as the Marlins made surprising run to their first playoff berth in 17 years. “I wish we would average 37,000 fans this year, but we understand it’s going to take some time.”___Loading...
