I suppose people have a lot of different things to do with their time. Unless there is something of a ‘scene’ to be found at Target Field, presumably from buzz around a winning team, I expect this will be the norm.
The difficulties watching the team on TV means fewer of the players are household names now. This is a big deal too as it’s often rooting for particular players that is the draw.
And of course, many of the people here who discuss the team heavily don’t live in Minnesota.
