The Dodgers continue to lead all MLB clubs in attendance, averaging 46,375 fans per game at Chavez Ravine. That figure is relatively flat compared to the same period last season. The Padres made big offseason roster moves, and while that has not translated to on-field success, the club leads all NL teams to date in attendance. The club is seeing a 19% increase at Petco Park and is the only NL team to see a double-digit percentage jump to date. Three NL East clubs bring up the rear in NL attendance, with the Marlins ranking last. The Phillies and Braves are seeing the sharpest drop among all NL clubs to date. See yesterday's issue for figures on AL clubs (THE DAILY).
