Great game, Chris. I can't wait for the next installment.

Questions...

1) If you have zero attendance, you essentially just get negative the baseline? Or how do you drop the digits or is this just zero?

2) I have a year past "present", so how is that treated? 2014-2019 is included at the end...

Yeah, automatic negative points for those. Since your future dates have zero attendance yet those will also be negative points.

BP1: Oakland Coliseum, Oakland - 2010 attendance = 1418391, 1418 - 2010 = -592
BP2: County Stadium, Milwaukee - 1965 attendance = 555584, 555 - 1965 = -1410
BP3: Coors Field, Denver - 1993 attendance = 0, 0 - 1993 = -1993
BP4: American League Park, Wash, D.C. - 1916 attendance = 0, 0 - 1916 = -1916
BP5: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles - 1987 attendance = 2797409 = 2797 - 1987 = 810
Total Points = -5101

1. Yes, an attendance of 0 gives you the negative baseline for that timeframe

2. Treat the same as #1, as the parks have not technically been in use for any future years. If you notice, you'll see that the baseline for 2000-present is actually lower than from 1980-1999, despite having a higher average attendance (2.451mm vs. 1.957mm). This is because I had to account for all the 0s from 2013-2019, which signicantly reduced the baseline for 2000-2019.

Ballpark 1: (1A)
Baltimore - Orioles Park - 1900 = 0 attendance
0-250 = -250

Ballpark 2: (315J)
Washington D.C. - Nationals Park - 2019 = 0 attendance
0-1,250 = -1,250

Ballpark 3: (88D)
New York - Polo Grounds - 1943 = 466,095 attendance
466-750 = -284

Ballpark 4: (245C)
Arlington - Rangers Ballpark in Arlington - 2002 = 2,352,397 attendance
2,352-1,250 = 1,102

Ballpark 5: (8A)
Cleveland - League Park - 1900 = 0 attendance
0-250 = -250

TOTAL = -932

This round gave me an El Kabong!! It killed me. LOL
