The Braves left Boston mostly because of poor attendance. In 1952, the total season attendance at Braves Field was just over 281,000. That works out to less than 4,000 people per game.The Dodgers OTOH were still drawing fairly well, although attendance was drifting downwards. It had a lot to do with Ebbets Field itself. The area around the ballpark was becoming unsafe, especially at night, plus there was little parking available, plus Ebbets Field itself was growing long in the tooth. A new ballpark was needed, but to make a long atory short, things didn't work out and the Dodgers headed west. |
