Dodgers Stay Optimistic Amid Flat Attendance Trends
Notes from Dodger Stadium describe a cheerful, unsettled season as the club eyes a possible fifth World Series since leaving Brooklyn. Peter O'Malley plans a wedding, and management cites affordable pricing, strong city population support, and steady attendance around 1.7 million despite June stagnation. The team, with nine young players and an unsettled rotation, faces a tougher second half while aiming to win the pennant rather than wait for rivals.
