Austin MLB meets at Third Base in Round Rock for a late West Coast matchup as the San Diego Padres visit the San Francisco Giants. MLB lists the Giants’ broadcast on NBC Sports Bay Area and the Padres’ consumer streaming option as Padres.TV Presented by UC San Diego Health. For out‑of‑market venues like ours, MLB Extra Innings carries the NBCS BA linear feed, which Third Base receives through its commercial DirecTV package.
Because we track average attendance along two completely separate axes, this event has a measurable impact on both: • the Monday average attendance, which aggregates attendance across all venues • the Third Base venue average attendance, which tracks that location’s long‑term baseline regardless of day
And this being a West Coast night game on a Monday, the expected turnout is historically very low in Austin. That makes it the perfect opportunity to destroy both the Monday average attendance and the Third Base venue average attendance.
We’ll confirm the TV setup with staff on arrival and keep the game on through the final out, subject to venue closing time (02:00).
RSVP if you’re attending — or stay home if you’re participating in the average‑attendance degradation.
