With affiliated-baseball 2019 regular seasons now finished with the weekend finales in the Pioneer League, it’s time to look at how individual teams and leagues fared. We continue today’s attendance reviews with a listing of Minor League Baseball attendance by classification.
In the course of the day we’ll review MiLB attendance by total and by average.
Here are the complete attendance figures of affiliated baseball teams, as listed by classification, with a comparison of 2018 attendance figures. All stats come directly from league websites and last year’s Ballpark Digest attendance rankings.
