Reds fans have waited long enough to know what Astros fans already forgot

The Cincinnati Reds have not hosted a playoff game since 2012, when they won the NL Central with 97 victories. Since then, the team has made the playoffs three times but lost all five games played, including a 2012 NLDS loss to the Giants after winning the first two games at home. The Houston Astros, by contrast, have won the AL West five times in six seasons and reached the World Series four times in the past decade, yet their fans showed poor attendance and booed the team during a recent playoff loss to the White Sox, with over 7,000 seats empty at the stadium.
