2016 Summer Collegiate Attendance by Average

By on August 15, 2016 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 finish today’s coverage with a listing of 2016 summer-collegiate attendance sorted by average.

As has been the case for years, the Northwoods League dominates these listings, with four of the top ten teams. We saw an impressive debut from the Savannah Bananas, whose first year at Grayson Stadium put the team #2 in average attendance in the industry. And we some good growth from the Okotoks Dawgs, Worcester Bravehearts, Valley Blue Sox and Victoria HarbourCats.

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.
