Over 81 home dates, the Blue Jays had an average attendance of 23,162. This was their lowest mark since 2003. According to official figures, Toronto?s attendance increased every year from 2003 through 2008, when it was listed at 29,626. But interim president Paul Beeston has acknowledged that the numbers in recent years were inflated through vague and creative accounting practices, a practice Beeston stopped when he took over last winter. The Jays? average attendance ranks 23rd in Major League Baseball.
