2018 Affiliated Attendance by Total

Ballpark DigestWith affiliated, independent and summer-collegiate 2018 regular seasons now finished, it’s time to look at how individual teams and leagues fared. We continue today’s 2018 attendance reviews with a listing of Minor League Baseball attendance ranked by total attendance.

In the course of the day we’ll review MiLB attendance by league, by total, and by average. We’ll then follow those listings with independent-baseball attendance, followed by a master listing of 2018 affiliated, independent and summer-collegiate attendance.

Here are the complete attendance figures of affiliated baseball teams, as listed by total attendance, with a comparison of 2017 attendance figures. All stats come directly from league websites and last year’s Ballpark Digest attendance rankings.
