Los Angeles Dodgers Achieve Historic Milestone with 4 Million Fans
The Los Angeles Dodgers have achieved an impressive feat this season, attracting 4 million fans for the first time in the franchise’s history. This achievement makes them the tenth team in Major League history to reach this figure. The Los Angeles team joins the New York Mets and Yankees, who achieved this mark in 2008. The Dodgers, current World Series champions, surpassed this milestone with 46,601 fans present at the last regular season home game against the San Francisco Giants. The total attendance for the 2025 regular season was 4,012,470, with an average of 49,537 fans per game.The Yankees reached the 4 million fan mark from 2005 to 2008 in their last four years at the old Yankee Stadium. The Toronto Blue Jays did it in 1991, 1992 and 1993, while the Colorado Rockies also reached this figure in 1993, playing at Mile High Stadium. The Dodger Stadium, opened in 1962, has a capacity of 56,000 spectators, the highest in MLB. The Dodgers have led Major League Baseball in attendance in 12 of the last 13 seasons since 2013, with the exception of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The Dodgers have clinched a postseason berth for the thirteenth consecutive year since 2013, tying the second-longest playoff streak in baseball history, a period that includes two World Series championships and four National League pennants. The popularity of Shohei Ohtani and his large fanbase explain why the Dodgers also lead the majors in away attendance, attracting an average of 35,118 fans to rival parks so far in the 2025 season. Los Angeles will finish the regular season with a six-game series in Arizona and Seattle. In 46 of their 81 home games this season, the Dodgers had crowds of more than 50,000 fans, and never recorded an attendance below 40,000. The team keeps its fans happy with wins and with a large number of giveaways during the season, including more than a dozen high-profile bobblehead nights. The Dodgers didn’t surpass 3 million in attendance at Chavez Ravine until the 1978 season, but they’ve now achieved it 36 times.“It’s incredible that these fanatics show up and show their support every day. There’s a reason why I feel we have the best fans in sports. The numbers prove it. You could feel the excitement of the fans this weekend and how the players responded. It’s been great,” commented manager Dave Roberts.
