Major League Baseball reports largest attendance increase in 30 years
Fans line up outside Chase Field as the Diamondbacks give away Star Wars themed 'haboob globe' to the first 15,000 attendees on July 29, 2023, in Phoenix.
If someone were to tell you that baseball was a dying sport, the 2023 season would have promptly flipped that narrative on its head.
With all 162 games now in the books, Major League Baseball has proudly announced that a staggering 70 million fans flocked to stadiums throughout the year.
This remarkable surge in attendance marks the most substantial increase in over three decades, as noted by USA Today columnist Bob Nightengale.
