Yes I agree, it does happen...when the Buffalo Bisons built their new stadium downtown, they were selling out every game in a stadium that held 20,000, and shattered the minor league attendance record, and were also the first team in minor league history to draw over 1,000,000 fans during a season. They actually outdrew numerous major league teams that year as well...Not surprising, since Buffalo probably is the most sports crazy city in the US, but definitely not the norm...
Just cause it happens for 4 to 5 minor league doesnt mean its gonna happen for the other 200...
