2015 Affiliated Attendance by Level

Ballpark DigestWe continue our look at 2015 Minor League Baseball attendance with a new ranking for this year: We list teams by level, from Class AAA to rookie.

We’ll follow this up with listings of affiliated attendance by average and by total. 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 level, with a comparison of 2014 attendance figures. All stats come directly from league websites and last year’s Ballpark Digest attendance rankings.
