Joe Buck Calls Out Cardinals Fans for Poor Attendance at Busch Stadium
The St. Louis Cardinals have been struggling in the playoff race for the past three seasons, and their lackluster performance has not gone unnoticed by their fans. As the team began a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Busch Stadium this week, it was clear that the fans were not showing up to support their team.
With only 17,645 fans in attendance on Monday, it was the lowest-paid attendance since the stadium opened in 2006. This is a stark contrast to the once National League powerhouse that used to draw in large crowds. Even Joe Buck, whose father was the legendary Cardinals broadcaster Jack Buck, took notice of the poor attendance and shared his disappointment on social media.
“DURING the game in Stl last night. Wow. Welcome back to the 70s,” Buck posted on X. “This is what it used to look like. I was there. Pre-Whitey [Herzog]. Buying shag carpet asap.”
Buck also expressed his hope for a major rebuild of the team’s roster and trust in the new president of baseball operations, Chaim Bloom. The 2025 season marks a low point for the Cardinals and their fans, with an average attendance down nearly 7,000 from last season. This could be attributed to the team’s lackluster starting pitcher or mismanagement of the roster before the season, but it’s clear that the fans are not happy with the product on the field.
As the season comes to an end, all eyes will be on Chaim Bloom to see if he can turn things around for the Cardinals. With his track record of making wholesale changes during his time with the Boston Red Sox, there is hope that he can bring the team back to its former glory and bring the fans back to Busch Stadium.
