At the All-Star break the Pittsburgh Pirates stand 38-49 and project a 10th straight losing season while home attendance drops from 1.3 million to about 1.1 million through 47 games. If trends continue, crowds will fall 25 percent from last season’s 2.4 million as weather, seat hikes, and roadwork curb fan turnout. General Manager Dave Littlefield says improvements on the field are needed to restore fan support.
