Our year-end attendance roundups continue with the end of the 2023 MiLB and MLB seasons, as we begin with a list of 2023 MiLB attendance by total.
We have a new champ in the ranking of 2023 MiLB attendance by total, as the International League’s Lehigh Valley IronPigs surged to the top of the pack. There are some familiar names in these rankings, to be sure, but if you check out the the percentage changes, you’ll see winners far outnumber the list of losers on the total attendance front.
These numbers are compiled from MLB’s stats system. Following this list of attendance by total we’ll be posting lists by league, lists by classification and finally a list ranked by average.
