MLB SHould Replace the Ballpark App with a PWA

  There are 32 teams, which means no more than 16 games in a day.

No, MLB has 30 teams. There are numerous other factual errors (no, some teams don't even sell out Opening Day), but the broader problem with the Ballpark app is friction. Installing the app (even when it works, which is sporadic) means giving them your location at all times (it force loads at phone startup), all SD card access, and even your Google configuration.

MLB attendance is in a tailspin as it is... yet they throw this at fans without adequate instruction or warning. Some teams don't even issue physical tickets to season ticket holders! Result: tickets become much harder to resell, season ticket holders abandon their seats, that revenue certainty vanishes while attendance continues its death spiral.

Why endure all that friction when you can go watch at the bar or sit at home for free, bantering with fellow fans on the subreddit?

Teams have lost all context. None thinks to compare back to 12+ years ago, before the abysmal StubHub deal, when buildings were Fuller despite the recession.
