Dodgers buck the trend and lead MLB in attendance

The Dodgers posted an average attendance boost of more than 2,000 per game compared to last season, according to statistics at Baseball-Reference. And in 2019 the team’s average attendance was 49,066, the best in baseball.

Despite increasing ticket prices, concession prices steadily climbing, and parking also becoming a substantial expense at Chavez Ravine, Dodger fans continue to come to the ballpark and root on the Boys in Blue.”

Final numbers for 2019 show the Dodgers with the best overall attendance as well at just shy of 4 million on the year (3,974,309). Contrast that with a New York Times report in September headlined, “Baseball saw a million more empty seats…” with a subhead that noted a “12-year slide in MLB attendance.
