Cleveland Guardians home attendance in 2022 lags slightly compared to pre-COVID seasons

Cleveland Guardians attendance in 2022 lags slightly compared to pre-COVID seasons. The team's name change after more than 100 seasons playing as the “Indians” and organizational shift to cut payroll and develop young players are also factors. The club's opening day payroll averaged $126.1 from 2017-2019 but dropped to $51.3 over the last three seasons, and the team has played 16 home games this season. No other team in baseball has contested less than 20 games in their own ballpark.
