MLB ATTENDANCE BREAKDOWN: 17 TEAMS SEE SECOND-HALF BUMP
Published October 1, 1997
THE DAILY charts MLB final attendance figures for each
team. Our focus is on the second half of the season,
including the last five weeks of the schedule, when the wild
card and pennant races should have become more competitive
while going up against the start of the NFL season. NOTES:
"1st Half Season Avg." is based on attendance through the
All-Star break; "2nd Half Analysis" looks at attendance from
All-Star break through August 24; from August 24 through the
end of the season and total second half average (THE DAILY).
