It's explained by supply vs demand.

Baseball has 162 games per season. No other sport on this list comes close to that. Next highest is NHL and NBA at 82 games. Baseball stadiums also have relatively high max capacity as you can see.

Twice as many games as NBA and twice as much max capacity explain the bigger gap between avg attendance and max capacity. What ends up happening is that there are so many games and seats that fans pick and choose the "best" games to attend (with best opponents). In NBA seats are so scarce that you just pick whatever you can afford.

2020 and the beginning of 2021 were easily the worst years of my life. On this graph it would be averaging around 3/10 throughout. But I noticed that mid 2021 was getting a little better so I decided to rank each day 1-10 based on how I felt at the end of the day.

1/10 is terrible, you can barely get out of bed, 10/10 is perfect. I was going into this assuming that for the average person with no major problems should be averaging around 6/10. I knew by mid-2021 I was not at 6 so my goal was to get an average of 6 after one year. I think I partially succeeded and the actual act of doing the graph put things into perspective which helped.
