2024 summer collegiate attendance by league

Ballpark Digest squareWith the end of the 2024 baseball season nearing, we’re presenting our annual looks at attendance across the sport. We continue with our listing of 2024 summer collegiate attendance arranged by league.

We began with a list of 2024 summer collegiate attendance ranked by total attendance. Following this listing of 2024 summer collegiate attendance will be a ranking of teams by average attendance. The final list is the most accurate way to gauge success: this list of 2024 summer collegiate attendance rewards teams in leagues that play a relatively high number of games (27-39) when compared to other leagues playing 17-22 games.

These listings are limited to teams that report attendance. There are other summer-collegiate leagues that do not report attendance, and there are also plenty of chain-link and pay-to-play leagues that we don’t cover.
