2015 Independent Attendance by League

Ballpark DigestWith the Atlantic League wrapping up its regular season last night, it’s time to present independent-league attendance information for the 2015 season. We begin with a listing of indy attendance by league.

We’re limiting the attendance listings to the five independent league that report attendance on a regular basis. That means circuits like the Pecos League are not listed. In addition, you’ll note a smaller indy universe this year: United League Baseball did not play.

Here are the complete attendance figures of independent baseball teams, as listed by per-game average, with a comparison of 2014 attendance figures. All stats come directly from league websites and last year’s Ballpark Digest attendance rankings.
