Over the past 10 seasons, attendance across baseball has been dwindling. But, in 2019 it looks like these figures are growing uncomfortably fast. There are three main causes as to why baseball has seen a decrease in the number of butts in the seats.

With two new teams in the league, the NHL enters new markets and new fan bases. Hockey is a sport for everyone and the more fan bases in North America the better. What other cities need an NHL team?
