Attendance? Not With Supportive
Dodgers Fans
By Rob McCarthy
The Los Angeles Dodgers keep winning
on the bases and at the turnstiles. The Blue
Crew are the best-drawing team in Major
League Baseball and playing before bigger
crowds this season at home and on the road.
That’s exactly what baseball needs right now.
Attendance is shrinking at Major League
games, though poor weather and underperforming
teams with losing records explain
some of the drop-off at National and American
League ballparks. Eighteen of the league’s
30 teams reported smaller crowds in April
and through mid-May. The Dodgers, who are
trying to win the club’s first World Series
title in 30 years, have responded so far to
the challenge. The team’s Southern California
fan base has responded by turning out for
home games in bigger numbers.
Los Angeles leads the league in home
attendance through the first 25 games, according
to ESPN baseball figures. Average
attendance at home was a league-leading
47,119 fans per game. L.A. surpassed the 1
million home attendance mark by mid-May
despite losing Yasiel Puig and Chase Utley,
two of the team’s most popular players.
The Dodgers traded Puig to the Cincinnati
Reds during the offseason, and Utley retired.
Utley’s fans in Philadelphia, where he played
before coming the Dodgers, have embraced
the Phillies and their new free agent outfielder
Bryce Harper. The Phils are one of only
three teams, including L.A., to draw over 1
million fans at home this season. The New
York Yankees are the other. All three teams
currently sit in first place in their divisions.
Twelve teams are bucking the league-wide
trend of smaller crowds, though. Philadelphia
and MLB superstar Harper have increased
home attendance by 302,219 fans through
the first 28 games. The San Diego Padres,
with former Dodger Manny Machado now
playing for them, have boosted home crowds
by 80,000 through the first 26 games. Another
California team, the Oakland Athletics, have
seen brisk business at the stadium turnstiles
too, adding 60,000 fans through the first
seven weeks of this season.
Down south in Anaheim, the Angels soon
will hit the 1 million attendance mark, but it’s
taking longer than last season. The Angels’
home crowds are down by 53,000 so far. The
team’s home attendance stood at 857,694
after last weekend’s three-game homestand.
The Dodgers have remained the number
one team for attendance in the Major Leagues
for the past six seasons. They leapfrogged the
Phillies in 2013 for the highest attendance in
Major League Baseball. The Yankees outdrew
both L.A. and Philadelphia back in 2010.
The San Francisco Giants are losing paying
fans faster than any major league team this
season, ESPN’s figures show. The Giants
-- who ranked fourth last season and drew
more than 3 million spectators at home
-- are in a freefall. The team ranks 10th in
attendance and is last in the National League
West. San Francisco and Los Angeles were
the first major league teams to relocate from
New York to the West Coast between 1958
and 1959.
The teams making the biggest gains in
average attendance from 2018 are:
The Winners
Philadelphia Phillies: 35,947 (10,794 more
per game)
San Diego Padres, 29,870 (3,105 more
per game)
Oakland Athletics, 19,541 (2,508 more
per game)
