Yup, until such time as OOTP includes an "League Average Attendance" setting the League Totals, attendances in the game will look like modern day ones.

Considering that the MLB average attendance in 2004 was twice that of 1950, and more than 8 times that of 1901, the attendance values generated in OOTP are not accurate for anything other than the current era.

After schedules and doubleheaders, getting accurate attendance values for historical years via a league average attendance value in the League Totals is my next crusade. Not only will it make them look realistic, it should help considerably in achieving era-appropriate salaries as well (in conjunction with other fianancial system changes of course).
