Ballpark DigestWe conclude our listings of 2014 Minor League Baseball attendance with a ranking of the 176 teams by average, perhaps the most accurate way to assess the health of a team.

Here are the complete announced attendance figures of affiliated baseball teams, as listed by average, with a comparison of 2013 attendance figures. All stats come directly from league websites and last year’s Ballpark Digest attendance rankings.
