The Brewers on Saturday drew "more than 37,000 fans" to Miller Park for its promotions around the upcoming release of Columbia Pictures' "Ghostbusters," which is a crowd "about 9,000 larger than the 28,000 the team has averaged through the first half of the season," according to the MILWAUKEE BUSINESS JOURNAL. Fans attending the game received a bobblehead doll of Ps Jeremy Jeffress, Taylor Jungmann, Jimmy Nelson and Will Smith "dressed in the famous 'Ghostbusters' costumes," while team employees dressed in the costume "for photo opportunities." Additionally, a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man "was stationed in the concourse for photos and the special ectomobile was parked outside Miller Park" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 7/11). In Milwaukee, Rich Kirchen noted the single-game attendance jump comes as Brewers fans are "showing less interest in the team." There has been a 12% decline in home attendance this season and a 25% "decrease in the television audience" on FS Wisconsin. The Brewers have the "second-largest decrease in total attendance," and rank 16th in attendance this year compared with 10th in '15 (BIZJOURNALS.com, 7/8).
