The 2018 summer collegiate season ended last night, so you know what that means: it’s time to begin reporting on the yearly attendance numbers. We begin with a listing of 2018 summer collegiate attendance by league.
This does not comprise a full list of summer collegiate teams. In this listing, we’re sticking to leagues where all members report paid attendance. There are other summer collegiate leagues listing partial attendance, and we’ll save those for the total and per-game averages. This listing should give you a good idea of the growth in the summer-collegiate industry, however, with many league reporting significant growth. More teams will be represented in other lists today.
