Perhaps that is because Boston is 40% bigger then Atlanta, and yet Fenway Park is 33% smaller then Turner field. Over the past 10 years or so, Atlanta has averaged higher attendence then Boston, only dipping below them recently.

I also wouldn't call the Braves fans apathetic, at least compared to every other game I've been to. They were certainly more alive then the Baltimore game I went to and every Dodgers game. The only game I've been to where the fans were more alive was when the Angels were in the pennant race 2 years ago.

Certainly, I've never been to a Red Sox or Yankees game, but I wouldn't really call the Braves fans apathetic. Probably in the grand scheme of things, they are somewhere in the middle.
