Is it possible for the Yankees to get the stadium attendance wrong ?

from what i understand attendence is the amount of tickets sold

but then i also have ben told is how many people enter the ball park

and the last time i went they check the tickets with a hand held computure and i bet it goes into a data base and thats how they are counted

i also remeber the old style turn styles at games

Its possible, but in today's age of technology its very unlikely.

Every person who enters the stadium has a unique bar code scanned on their ticket. Those handheld scanners are linked to a central computer that keeps track of attendance and makes sure that someone doesn't photocopy a ticket and try to use it to get more than 1 person into the game.

Its always possible for there to be a mistake, such as a handheld ticket scanner that didn't upload data properly, but I would say its much MORE likely that you simply over-estimated and the announced number was exactly accurate of how many tickets were scanned at the entrance gates.

My fav 2nd became Jeter's abode run.. specific.. that one :) you recognize what i'm speaking approximately ^^ 2. who's you accepted Yankee to ever step interior the Hollowed Grounds?

I wasn't alive whilst all of those greats performed yet I researched and found out stuff... it valuable is astounding and its unhappy that certainly one of those great stadium crammed with historic past is gonna be torn down :(

Sure because the major problem with getting the correct attendance at any stadium is that all attendees are never in their seats at the same time.

There should be a rule that everyone has to be seated in the top of the 3rd inning so the attendance counters can get an accurate number. Then it won't make any difference how the attendees were admitted thru the turnstiles. I feel your pain.

Its very possible, especially if the guy who does the attendance is a product of the NY City school system.

It's possible. They scan the barcodes on the way on so I assume they get the count from that, but it's possible to get the count wrong.

Fungo is so wrong... They don't COUNT the people in the ball park by hand, they scan your ticket when you come in the ball park...

But yes, it is possible.

It's possible

Its highly likely!
