"The Dodgers have led the major league in attendance every year since 2013, the first full season under the Guggenheim ownership group chaired by Mark Walter. In press releases, the Dodgers regularly note the team has "the highest cumulative fan attendance in Major League Baseball history." Yet the 4 million barrier has been an elusive milestone. Lon Rosen, the Dodgers' executive vice president and chief marketing officer, said the team would officially pass 4 million tickets sold on Sunday, in the regular season finale."
"No major league team has hit 4 million since the New York Mets and Yankees in 2008, the final season of Shea Stadium and the old Yankee Stadium, respectively. The Yankees also sold 4 million in 2005-07. The only other teams to do it: the Toronto Blue Jays (1991-93) and Colorado Rockies (1993). No team besides the Dodgers can hit 4 million any more. The Mets, Yankees and Rockies all moved into smaller stadiums; the Blue Jays downsized theirs."
Los Angeles Dodgers attendance will exceed four million this regular season, the first time in franchise history to reach that milestone. The Dodgers have led Major League Baseball in attendance every year since 2013 under Guggenheim ownership and claim the highest cumulative fan attendance in MLB history. Reaching four million requires averaging 49,383 tickets per game; the Dodgers entered with a 49,589 average. No other modern MLB team can now reach four million because most clubs moved into smaller or downsized stadiums. Lon Rosen said the team is proud and credited the accomplishment largely to popular, successful players.
