Correction of inaccuracies + focus in early team history

There seem to be unsupported comments in the section about the days split between Sendai in Tokyo, namely that support crashed after the 1974 season. I cannot find anything to support this other than the cited video, but that source does not have any source for this claim. Only source I find for NPB attendance figures is the official NPB yearly attendance totals, which suggest an overall drop in attendance in 1975 from 1974 with a rebound in 76 and 77 until the move to Kawasaki in 1977. Is there a better source that supports this 2000-3000 fans figure?

Additionally, the next section on the Lee brothers seems more suited for their individual player pages than the team page, especially since other stars of the era for the team like Hiromitsu Ochiai and Choji Murata are not mentioned. Am I correct in thinking that the team history should focus more on the team as a whole rather than one or two individual players' accomplishments?

I will work on expanding the other content for the pre Marines-era teams but I'd like some input on how to handle the topics I mentioned. Yakyuufan (talk) 07:22, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
