2017 Independent Attendance by Total

Ballpark DigestIt seems way too early to post these numbers, but with the Atlantic League wrapping up its season yesterday, it’s time to tally attendance for the 2017 season. We continue with a listing of independent-baseball attendance by total.

We have already posted 2017 independent attendance by league. We’ll follow this up with listings of independent attendance by average, followed by a listing of all MiLB, summer-collegiate and independent teams. Summer-collegiate and affiliated attendance has already been posted.

Here are the attendance figures of independent baseball teams, as listed by total, with a comparison of 2016 attendance figures. All stats come directly from league websites and last year’s Ballpark Digest attendance rankings.
