Dodgers Achieve Historic Attendance Milestone
Los Angeles Dodgers celebrate a record season by surpassing 4 million fans, an unprecedented achievement in the history of the franchise. This milestone places the Dodgers as the tenth team in Major League Baseball (MLB) history to reach this figure, marking a significant moment for the team and its fans. The last time an MLB team achieved this feat was in 2008, when the New York Mets and the Yankees accomplished it. The team, the current World Series champion, reached this figure in the last home game of the regular season, facing the San Francisco Giants.Other teams that achieved this mark include the Yankees, who did it from 2005 to 2008, and the Toronto Blue Jays in 1991, 1992, and 1993. The Colorado Rockies also reached this figure in 1993. The Dodger Stadium, inaugurated in 1962, has a capacity of 56,000 spectators, the highest in MLB. The Dodgers have led the league in attendance in 12 of the last 13 seasons since 2013, with the exception of 2020 due to pandemic restrictions. Additionally, the Dodgers have clinched their postseason berth for the thirteenth consecutive year since 2013, tying for the second-longest playoff streak in baseball history, a period that includes two World Series championships and four National League pennants.“It’s incredible that the fans show up and support us every day. I feel like 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.
