Despite the jagged schedule for the rest of the game, it is an explosion of spectators. Now, you can see a lot of weekday sales.
August simply took baseball officials by surprise. It is the summer vacation season and the number of visitors to the ballpark is decreasing due to the heat wave, but more fans visited it this year. June topped the list this season with 15,236 average spectators, but in August it topped the list with 15,412 people, surpassing June. Thanks to the massive surge in August, it was able to quickly achieve its first-ever 9 million people and jump to 10 million people.
The crowd was expected to decrease in September. Since it plays the rest of the game schedule, the schedule is not the same as before, but it is a jagged situation.
However, as there were not many remaining games, fans flocked to the ballpark more. This is because the fans' enthusiasm for support has also become hotter as the ranking fight is still fierce.
A total of 609,692 spectators visited the 37 games held in September until the 11th. The average number of visitors is 16,478. About 1,000 more per game than in August.
As a result, the era of 10 million dreams is approaching quickly. It recorded 9,781,671 players in 658 games until the 11th, leaving only 218,329 players for 10 million. It is very likely that we will reach 10 million this weekend.
Six clubs, including LG, Samsung, Doosan, KIA, Lotte, and SSG, have already exceeded 1 million spectators. It is the first time in history that six teams have exceeded 1 million at once.
In addition, LG (1,281,420) and Samsung (1,275,022) are expected to set a record for the first time in their history that the two clubs will surpass 1.3 million.
Lotte alone recorded 1.3 million in a season four times (2008, 2009, 2011, 2012). LG and Samsung will surpass 1.3 million for the first time this year.
For the first time ever, 10,000 of the average spectators of the light bulb group are also on the horizon. Currently, LG ranks first in the average audience with 18,844, and NC has the smallest number with 10,154. So far, the average number of lightbulbs is 10,000.
Fans are flocking to enjoy baseball, which is not far away. Each team's ranking is gradually being determined, but this is why we have to do our best until the end.
