With just four games left at home, attendance for Padres’ games ranks 19th at 1,994,239 with an average of 26,239 per game.
In 2015, locals did respond to A.J. Preller’s attempt to take a shortcut to the postseason through a flurry of player trades and acquisitions. 2.45 million fans showed up, the highest numbers since 2007 when the Padres played the infamous National League tie-breaking game 163 against the Colorado Rockies. Last year, San Diego hosted the All Star Game, which may have helped the team to an average of 29,000 per game, which ranked 15th in MLB.
