Lynchburg's City Stadium can hold up to four thousand minor league baseball fans.. but on most nights, only small handfuls of people come out to watch the Hillcats.

((In the world of sports, inflated attendance figures are nothing new.. in the days of the old American Basketball League, one team reportedly used the "first quarter rule".. if the score at the end of the first quarter was 35-28, they listed the attendance as 3,528.
But what about minor league baseball and more specifically the Lynchburg Hillcats?
