Attendance has been a joke since the Dolan's took over, and it's unfortunate because we do have a great team here. I look at the World Series attendance like this....there are maybe 8,000 or 9,000 season ticket holders. If all of them bought World Series tickets, that still leaves roughly 27,000 available tickets that were made available to anyone who wanted to pay for them. Chicago is a 5 hour drive, so of course Cubs fans jumped online and bought tickets. It has nothing to do with lack of fans in Cleveland, just everyone had the same opportunity to get tickets. Had the Dodgers beat the Cubs, it would not have been as noticeable.
