2022 MiLB attendance by league

By on October 12, 2022 in Attendance, Minor-League Baseball

Ballpark Digest squareOur year-end attendance roundups continue with the end of the 2022 Minor League Baseball season, as we share a list of 2022 MiLB attendance by league.

There was widespread optimism within the industry that 2022 would be a rebound season in Minor League Baseball, and an initial glance would appear to reflect the optimism was warranted. Overall, we’re told that well-managed teams are seeing revenue levels approaching 2019 numbers–pre-COVID–and although there are still some areas of concern (group sales, in general, were still down, though merch sales were still strong), we’re seeing some relieved folks already planning for 2023.

These numbers are compiled from MLB’s stats system. We began with a list ranked by total, and following this list of attendance by league we’ll be posting a list by classification and finally a list ranked by average.
