With attendance down 30% this year 2003 at Jacobs Field as the Cleveland Indians decline close to the bottom of the American League Central Division, the players are not the only ones losing support. Some establishments near the ballpark that are reliant on the Indians to drum up business have taken a hit because the team's poor play — not unexpected, given the number of young players in prominent roles — has dragged average attendance down to 19,371 through May 5 from 32,308 at this point in 2002. The turnstiles at Jacobs Field now are half as busy as they were in 2001, the last year the Indians made the playoffs, when the team averaged 39,694 fans per game. To broaden the Clevelander's appeal beyond sports fans John Granzier plans to renovate the second floor to be used as a party room and to change the decor of the first floor and patio to take on an Irish theme mixed with some sports paraphernalia. Bruce Ferris, owner of Ferris Steakhouse at 2120 E. Fourth St., said while his restaurant also has a party room to help diversify beyond the sporting crowd, he is“always a little dependent on business from events going on at Gund Arena and Jacobs Field. Tim Rose, operating partner at the Cooperstown restaurant at 2217 Huron Road across from Jacobs Field, said the Indians are only one component of his establishment's customer base.
