But Only 974 Showed
The White Sox (3-6) and the Rays (2-8) aren't exactly must-see attractions this season. That is very clear by the number of people who showed up to watch the two teams play Monday.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, the official number of people who used their tickets to enter the game was 974. It's hard to believe that many actually entered the ballpark based on pictures from Guaranteed Rate Field. The actual paid attendance for the game was 10,377.

Take a look at this...White Sox fans are the worst fans
4:14 PM - Apr 10, 2018 · Davenport, IA
This is the lowest attended game since April 28, 2015 when Camden Yards was closed off to the public for safety purposes due to rioting in Baltimore. A total of zero people were in the stands that day.
However, ironically, according to Stats LLC, the lowest attended game since they began tracking attendance also occurred at Guaranteed Rate Field (then Comiskey Park). On April 9, 1997, 746 fans showed up to watch the White Sox and the Blue Jays.
More impressively though, neither of these games came close to the lowest-attended game in baseball history that was not closed off to the public. On Sept. 28, 1882, a total of six people were in attendance for a game between the Troy Trojans and the Worcester Ruby Legs.
