The State of Attendance in Major League Baseball: Challenges and Opportunities
Major League Baseball (MLB) is currently facing challenges related to attendance in its stadiums. Notably, some teams are witnessing significantly lower crowd turnout despite playing in relatively newer and aesthetically pleasing ballparks. Recent announcements highlighted disappointing attendance figures, with the Minnesota Twins drawing just over 10,000 fans in a game against the New York Mets, marking their smallest crowd in 15 years. Similarly, the Miami Marlins reported a meager attendance of only 7,300 for a recent matchup. These figures raise questions about what is truly driving fan engagement and the financial implications of attendance numbers.
