Update: Average Attendance figures in the New York-Penn League, 2005-2019

Monongalia County Ballpark - Granville, WV - July 30, 2019
Here is an update of my post on July 14, 2019, regarding attendance figures in the New York-Penn League.

The New York-Penn League provides some the most cost effective, family entertainment available. Here is a link to ticket information to a game near you. Link

As I stated in the previous post:

"I have been concerned about the declining attendance at New York-Penn League games for some time. Each city in the league experiences unique challenges as they compete for entertainment dollars in their community. Below is a table showing the annual average attendance numbers in the league over time, going back to 2005. I'll leave the analysis to someone else."
