The Miami Marlins didn't draw much of a crowd Sunday despite hosting one of the most popular teams in the league.

Miami's announced attendance of 10,428 against the Chicago Cubs represented the smallest crowd in Marlins Park history, according to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald.

The rebuilding franchise posted decent attendance numbers Opening Day, with 32,151 watching as the Marlins kept things close with the 2016 World Series champions until a poor seventh inning cost them the game.

But since then, the ballpark's attracted small crowds - 12,034 people for Game 2 and 13,422 for Game 3 - including a significant proportion of Cubs fans.

Miami was expected to post low attendance numbers after the team traded away most of its stars during the offseason.
