Part 5/7:
A Lack of Sustained Success
The Marlins' on-field performance has also been a significant factor in their attendance woes. Since moving to Marlins Park, the team has made the playoffs only once, during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, and has not won a single playoff game. This lack of sustained success has made it challenging to build a loyal fan base.
Unlike other struggling teams that have embraced a full-scale rebuild, the Marlins have not been able to secure the high draft picks that could have provided them with elite talent. Instead, they have been stuck in a cycle of mediocrity, unable to consistently field a competitive team that would attract fans to the ballpark.
