| Monongalia County Ballpark - Granville, WV - July 30, 2019 |
As I stated in my July 14, 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 regular season average attendance numbers in the league over time, going back to 2005. I'll leave the analysis to someone else.
