When and how did the bottom drop out on St. Louis Cardinals home attendance? To me, it's like if the Green Bay Packers suddenly couldn't fill Lambeau. Is it merely based on the competitiveness of the team? Lack of recent success? It looks like a Marlins game most days now.

I have a category of sports watching that I think is perhaps the most elevated possible: The game that you can only follow intermittently because of an event or obligation that turns out to be a classic (i.e. watching 2007 IL/OSU at a wedding reception)
