2022 summer collegiate attendance by total

By on August 15, 2022 in Attendance, Summer Collegiate, Summer Collegiate News

Ballpark Digest squareWith the 2022 summer collegiate season unofficially ending yesterday, it’s time to begin our listings of 2022 attendance numbers. We begin with a listing of teams ranked by total attendees, followed by league rankings and per-game average.

With no operating restrictions, 2022 summer collegiate attendance numbers looked a lot more like they did in 2019 than they did in 2020. Many teams began 2021 play with operating and border restrictions. The Canadian teams in the West Coast League pursued a limited 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.

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.

Following this ranking will be a ranking of leagues by average attendance, followed by a ranking of teams by average attendance. The final list is the most accurate way to gauge success: this list rewards teams in leagues that play a relatively high number of games (27-36) when compared to other leagues playing 20-25 games. Tomorrow’s Ballpark Digest newsletter will contain a longer analysis of the numbers; sign up for the free newsletter here.

Editor’s Note: These listings have been updated with the submission of new figures from the Coastal Plain League and the St. Joseph Mustangs.
