MLB fans roast New York Yankees’ dismal attendance for final home game of season - "It’s embarrassing to MLB"

The New York Yankees will not be in the postseason after an underwhelming campaign. That makes today's matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks their final home game. Despite that, there are not a lot of people present.

The Yankees have struggled for consistency, with a .500 record in jeopardy as the team enters its final stretch. Yesterday's loss to Arizona was the final nail in the coffin as it officially eliminated them from postseason contention.

The situation has been distressing to the fan base, which has grown accustomed to winning.

The attendance is just another example of how far the team has fallen, according to fans, who took to X, formerly Twitter, to complain.

A three-decade streak of winning seasons is now in jeopardy, with many New York Yankees fans of the opinion that they have never seen a team this bad in the Aaron Boone/Aaron Judge era.

Why the New York Yankees struggled to get fans for final home game

There are things to consider regarding the attendance. Over the course of the season, attendance has been normal, even as the team's free-fall continued.

The Yankees are struggling

It's important to note that today's game is actually a rain makeup. It was scheduled for Saturday, so moving to Monday was always likely to attract fewer fans. An afternoon game on a Monday, and not a holiday, makes it hard for fans to attend.

Moreover, the Yankees are not playing for anything, so the fanbase likely never felt enticed to make it work for a Monday matinee.
