2012 Summer-Collegiate Attendance by League

Ballpark DigestHard to believe, but the summer-collegiate leagues have wrapped up their regular seasons, so it’s time to assemble the attendance stats. We begin with a look at summer-collegiate attendance by league.

We list the numbers for 2012 and 2012 to give you an idea of how teams and leagues fared year to year. Be warned that this isn’t necessarily a strict comparison of attendance from year to year: unlike affiliated ball, where there’s the same number of teams in every league every year (more or less), summer-collegiate teams can drop in and out of leagues.
