2019 Independent Baseball Attendance by League

Ballpark DigestWith the end of the Atlantic League schedule yesterday, it’s time to tally attendance for the 2019 season. We begin with a listing of independent-baseball attendance by league.

We’ll follow this up with listings of independent attendance by average and total, 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 league, with a comparison of 2018 attendance figures. All stats come directly from league websites and last year’s Ballpark Digest attendance rankings.
