2016 Summer Collegiate Attendance by Total

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 continue today’s coverage with a listing of 2016 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. We saw some good growth from the Elmira Pioneers, Okotoks Dawgs, St. Joseph Mustangs, Worcester Bravehearts and Victoria HarbourCats, as well as an impressive debut from the Savannah Bananas. The rise of these teams show impressive growth across the industry: last year the #10 team in total attendance, the St. Cloud Rox, fell out of the top ten but still experienced a rise in attendance for 2016.

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.
