Major League Baseball attendance records

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page lists attendance records in the two professional leagues American League and National League of American Baseball Association Major League Baseball to (MLB).

Most visited game in a preseason

The most popular game in an MLB preseason was a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, March 29, 2008 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with 115,301 spectators.

Play with the fewest spectators

A game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Chicago White Sox on April 29, 2015 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards was zero due to protests. The stadium remained closed to spectators due to security concerns, but the game took place anyway. Previously, the record held a game in 1882 between the Troy Trojans and the Worcester Ruby Legs in Worcester, Massachusetts with just six spectators.
