As the Atlantic League wraps up its season with a slate of Sunday games, it’s time to tally attendance for the 2018 season. We continue with a listing of independent-baseball attendance by total attendance.
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 have already been posted.
Here are the attendance figures of independent baseball teams, as listed by totals, with a comparison of 2017 attendance figures. All stats come directly from league websites and last year’s Ballpark Digest attendance rankings.
