Exactly people are willing to pay and go see a baseball game, but not for football. They just sit on the couch  an watch thier team's 1 game per week ;D 8).

Oh and if you add up the number of people that watch the 2,430 different baseball games and compare that to the number of people that watch the 256 football games I bet you baseball has more viewers. Also if the World Series  averaged 20 million viewers per game that would make 140 million for the whole event. Which is about 30 million more than the Super Bowl.

You must be a liberal, using numbers to suit your arguement...Do you honestly think that each of the 7 games of the World Series were watched by completely different viewers? That's the only way you would get to your misleading 140 million viewers statistic.  More likely, you probably had 20 to 30 million of the same viewers watching the "Series".  Work the numbers all you want, Football is "King" in Southeast Texas!

Simply because there are more games played...Turn the Superbowl into a 7 game series and answer the viewership question again.  Once again, very misleading.  FF, you're comparing apples to oranges...

The truth of the matter is that football has both a higher total "per event" attendance AND viewership...and yes, you are right FF, football is more popular too!

[AggiesAreWe]

Baseball has a higher total attendance over football only because MLB plays 162 games, NFL just 16.

I do know this, more people attend high school football games than they do high school baseball games. In fact, more attend high school basketball games than high school baseball in the state of Texas.

How am I being misleading? Did I post something that wasn't true? Nope, I just responded to someone who attacked baseball by saying " baseball = the most attended professional sport" and some of you freaked out about. Don't get your panties in a wad football is still king and I never said it wasn't. However more people watch and go to baseball games every year than do football games. That is a fact.

Look FF, while I appreciate your love of baseball, it's time to concede...baseball is just not as appealing as you might want it to be, and hair-brained figures and excuses won't change that...  Your reasons that in high school, basketball attendance beats baseball attendance is due to an A/C venue for B-Ball versus a baseball game's hot humid Texas conditions...Well, high school football attendance beats both, and it is played outside just like baseball...Baseball is a great sport, but it doesn't stack up against football, no matter how you slice it.  Sorry...

Concede what? Please show me where I said baseball was more popular. Everyone knows football is at the top(how many times do I have to say that) baseball is next, followed by basketball in national popularity( you.can google it if you don't believe me). Now  with that said, why can't you just accept that more people go to baseball games than football games lol? It's not that hard, and it is a fact.

Btw I think being outside in the fall is a little different than being outside in the spring and summer.

Okay, gentlemen.  I merely tried to put this thread up to signal that football had been moved back up as the top forum.  I did not intend for this to be a debate who watches what sport the most.  Basketball and baseball will get their turns at the top of the forum when their season is in swing.
