>>I hate to be on the Marlins side, but Montreal count the free tickets they give in the total attendance while the Marlins do not (http://www.cyberpresse.ca/reseau/sports/0209/spo_102090141618.html). So that give the Marlins another plus.

Jim;

If you are a team owner I think you like "paid attendance" which helps to pay the players and their addiction to greed as well as profits for the owner. Although free tickets are great for the consession workers -it helps give them a job.
