It was not a good season for the Atlanta Braves, especially for ticket sales.
The Atlanta Braves’ home attendance for the 2015 season was just over 2 million, according to baseball-reference.com.
That’s the lowest number of fans in 25 years.
One reason for low sales was the team’s lackluster performance. The team ended the year with a record of 67-and-95 – its worst since 1990.
[ Ed. note: The Braves ended up 24th in attendance – 20,001,392, or 25,017 per game. This was 170,000 above Philadelphia and 79,000 below Arizona.
Ranking further below were the Chicago White Sox, Oakland, Miami, Cleveland, and Tampa Bay (15,403 per game).
The Dodgers were #1 – easily – at 46,479 per home date, beating St. Louis by about 3,000 per game. San Francisco, the Yankees, and the Angels round out the top five.
The article points out that this was the lowest result for the Braves in 25 years – which would make it the lowest ever for Turner Field, which opened for baseball purposes in 1997. ]
