With today’s launch of the MLB regular season, it’s time to put the exhibition season in the books. Here’s the listing of 2025 spring training attendance by average, as the numbers indicate a down season.
Overall, 2025 spring training attendance was down some three percent after a strong 2024. These are the numbers reported by Major League Baseball, so a few explanations are necessary. MLB records all spring training and exhibition games; that means exhibition games played in MLB ballparks–like the Los Angeles Freeway Series, as well as the tuneups hosted by the Diamondbacks, Giants and Rangers–count in the attendance standings. A pair of Dodgers games hosted by the Angels certainly boosted that team’s stats, allowing the Halos to average more fans than will fit in Tempe Diablo Stadium. We should see Florida and Arizona tourism types both release their own attendance rankings, limited to games played in the state.
