Admit it, watching the game is much easier from home. Food is cheaper. Beer is cheaper. Your lazy boy recliner is much more comfortable than the tight stadium seat you’re bound to sit in at the ballpark.
Many professional sports teams are losing fans because of how convenient it is for fans to stay at home or go to a local bar to watch them play. It also doesn’t help that it continues to get more and more expensive to go to a professional sporting event.
247wallst.com came up with a list of 12 teams losing fans at alarming rates. At the top of that list is none other than your Detroit Tigers.

According to the site, the Tigers have lost over 40 percent of their fans over the last year. Ouch!
The team is currently 29-61 on the season with very little sign of optimism.
