They had that big a crowd today? I'm shocked.    Giveaway?

First 10 games 2017:  296,449 (194,265 last year)

Games 11-20 2017:  273,774 (243,702 last year)

Games 1-20 2017: 570,223 (437,967 last year)

That's a pretty nice season over season increase so far.  Note, last year only 9 of the first 20 games were on a weekend; this year it's been 12, six of which were vs.  the Yankees and Red Sox.   Even factoring that into account, I'd say things look good for an attendance increase this year.

According to ESPN, currently averaging ~28k per game, good for 16th in MLB.

For comparison's sake, the O's finished 20th in average attendance in 2016, 19th in 2015.

The highest they've been in the last decade was 13th, which, not coincidentally, happened in 2014.

They haven't beaten 13th since the arrival of the Nationals.

Scheduler also has Cardinals and Cubs on the weekend. Red Sox again this weekend. Orioles expect a nice increase . Also saw an article that Major League baseball tries to not schedule certain teams home on the same day. Mets and Yankees.White Sox  and Cubs. A's and Giants. The Nationals and Orioles. Only seven games when both teams are at home on the same day.

 

The teams had home games on the same day seven times, but Wednesday was the only day when their start times were far enough apart to make seeing games in Baltimore and Washington possible.

Major League Baseball tries to avoid scheduling both teams in two-team markets at home on the same day. Katy Feeney, the longtime MLB senior vice president of scheduling who died earlier this year, told the Mercury News in 2014 that the league tries to keep these so-called “conflict games” to fewer than 10 per season. Like the Nationals and Orioles, the Cubs and White Sox, Dodgers and Angels, A’s and Giants, and Mets and Yankees are rarely home at the same time. (Coincidentally, a Yankee Stadium-Citi Field doubleheader was in play on Thursday until the Yankees’ 1:05 p.m. game against the Royals was postponed.)

Thanks for bringing this together.  Though we've had, and will continue to have, a favorable schedule for attendance (looking especially at those Cardinals and Cubs weekend series), it's great to see such a major bump in attendance.  Hope it persists.

I would have expected the Cards to draw better.    Maybe the Orioles' recent struggles dampened late ticket purchases.

Really hot and Father's Day weekend too. My dad can't be out in this much heat, and it's not much fun for me either. We traded in our tickets for this weekend for a better weather day.

For the first time, attendance for the most recent 10-game stretch did not exceed the attendance for the same stretch last year.    In part, that's probably a reflection on how the team has played lately, which portends that this trend may continue.
