2015 Summer Collegiate Attendance by Total

By on August 10, 2015 in Attendance, News, Summer Collegiate, Summer Collegiate News

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

As has been the case for years, the Northwoods League dominates these listings, with four of the top five teams and six of the top 10 teams. No surprise: the league was the first to draw a million fans in a season — 2014, repeated this year — and emphasized business development as well as player development. We also saw some impressive debuts from the Holly Springs Salamanders and the Bristol Blues, as well as nice increases from the St. Cloud Rox, Northwestern Indiana Oilmen, Lexington County Blowfish (in the first year at a new ballpark), Duluth Huskies and Worcester Bravehearts.

This doesn’t cover every summer-collegiate team: there are a few leagues that choose not to report the attendance numbers publicly, and there are some teams that don’t seriously track attendance numbers. That’s OK: in those cases we’re talking about good-quality community entertainment. Still, this listing should give you a good idea of the growth in the summer-collegiate industry.
