In 2003 (THEY WON THE WS) and were 28th in attendance with 16,300 per game. They also DID NOT SELLOUT PLAYOFF GAMES in 2003 until the World Series.

Seriously, in 2003 the team sucked hard, and then they played insanely hot to sneak into the wild card.
Championships spike attendance in the *next* year. 2002 Angels Att: 2.3mil; 2003: 3mil.
Of course that'll never help in Florida because the front office keeps dismantling the team after they have success.
If Florida had a good stadium their attendance would be higher. Not much higher, but they'd be respectable (25 k/game).
