2022 summer collegiate attendance by average

By on August 15, 2022 in Attendance, Summer Collegiate

Ballpark Digest squareWith the 2022 season ending yesterday, it’s time to continue our listings of 2022 summer collegiate attendance numbers. Here are listings of teams by per-game average–the best way to evaluate change year-over-year.

With no operating restrictions, 2022 summer collegiate attendance numbers look a lot more like they did in 2019 than they did in 2020. Many teams began 2021 play with COVID-related operating and border restrictions. The Canadian teams in the West Coast League pursued a limited, northern schedule in 2021, while much of the Western Canadian Baseball League also skipped the 2021 season. This season sees the return of Canadian summer-collegiate teams and leagues.

This ranking is limited to teams that report attendance. There are plenty of teams and leagues that choose not to reported attendance. We also expect some additions in the future, as a few team websites are down and need to be updated. 

This final list is the most accurate way to gauge success and isn’t a byproduct of playing the most games in summer-collegiate ball. Tomorrow’s Ballpark Digest newsletter will contain a longer analysis of the numbers; sign up for the free newsletter here.
