SportsFilter: The Sunday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Article today in The Athletic on the (relatively) sparse crowds for the Seattle/Toronto series.

The stadium looks to be somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 full. In the before times, western Canadian fans (usually estimated ~20,000) come down for a chance to see 'their' club live, resulting in sellouts, or nearly so. Some are there, but not anywhere close to the normal numbers.

I suspect the same will happen when the Blue Jays visit Minnesota.
