2016 Summer Collegiate Attendance by League

Ballpark DigestWith the summer-collegiate regular season wrapping up last night, we’ll be reporting the numbers across the industry for 2016. We begin today’s coverage with a listing of summer-collegiate attendance, sorted by league.

This doesn’t cover every summer-collegiate league: there are a few leagues that choose not to report the attendance numbers publicly, and there are some leagues that don’t seriously track attendance numbers. That’s OK: in those cases we’re still talking about good-quality community entertainment. In addition, we don’t list leagues where teams report partial numbers, though teams reporting numbers will be listed in other lists today. Still, this listing should give you a good idea of the growth in the summer-collegiate industry. More teams will be represented in other lists today.

To come: summer-collegiate attendance by total and summer-collegiate attendance by average.
