The post MLB On Pace For Third Straight Attendance Increase appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Even with Tampa Bay Rays playing at the Yankees’ Steinbrenner Field, Major League Baseball is seeing … More attendance trend higher year-over-year exiting Memorial Day weekend.

The increase is striking given the A’s are now playing at Sutter Health Park, home to the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, and the Tampa Bay Rays are playing at Steinbrenner Field, the Spring Training facility of the New York Yankees.

The Rays are slated to return to Tropicana Field in 2026 after the $22.5 million plan to repair the roof and other damages is completed in the wake of Hurricane Milton shredding the roof. Using data from Baseball-Reference, the New York Mets lead in the most significant year-over-year (YOY) increases (+12,915 per game), followed by the Detroit Tigers (6,561 per game), Los Angeles Angels (5,331 per game), and A’s (4,035 per game). The increase by the A’s was largely expected, given the acrimony with fans in Oakland in their last season there. While the A’s are up, the same cannot be said of the Rays. Only the St. Louis Cardinals (-7,609 per game) are seeing a larger drop compared to this point last year. Through 35 games, the Rays are down -5,865 per game. Other large drops…
