2015 Affiliated Attendance by Average

By on September 9, 2015 in Attendance, News

Ballpark DigestWe wrap up our look at 2015 Minor League Baseball attendance with a listing of teams ranked by average attendance — the most accurate way to evaluate how a team did this season.

Why? Total attendance can be skewed by rainouts, and those rankings also benefit the higher-level leagues with the longest seasons. This ranking levels the playing field by providing a per-game look for the season.

Summer-collegiate attendance has already been posted, with independent baseball covered after the Atlantic League season ends.

Here are the complete attendance figures of affiliated 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.
