I mean, yes, this is a problem with sports generally (although the NBA is doing better than others). But in terms of whether it's "America's game", MLB has never had the viewership revenue that the NFL has right now.

Maybe I'm only going to unpopular teams? Or maybe there's a big gap between tickets sold and button in seats? I've gotten some very expensive tickets for half empty stadiums in multiple cities.

I dont know that that data exists, but its far from the only evidence of baseball's decline.

The NBA is also very willing to charge a ton of money for tickets in a half full stadium.

No, it is not "America's game". It is third in TV viewership, third in self identified fan interest, and second in overall revenue. It's also declining: only 25% of sports fans under the age of 25 say they follow it (https://www.statista.com/chart/15869/favrotie-sports-league/) and attendance is down 14% since 2007 (https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2387447)

You provide a standard deviation, but not a p value or anything that reflects statistical significance.

If the chart included a narrative explanation of the various factors in every state, it'd be long enough that you wouldn't read it. At some point, you're responsible for your own context.
