Attendance for the third game between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers drew a crowd of 53,568 at Dodger Stadium. It marked the Dodgers’ 14th sellout in 40 home games this season.
That moved the team past 2 million in home attendance for 2025, reaching the milestone faster than any other season in franchise history. In 2024, it took 42 games for the Dodgers to reach 2 million, and in 2019 – the year the Dodgers set their all-time attendance record – it took 43 games.
With 41 home games remaining, the Dodgers are on pace to draw 4 million fans for the first time in franchise history. In 2019, they fell just short with 3,974,309, and last year, they reached 3,941,251.
Earlier this season, the Dodgers reached a season-high of 54,031 fans in attendance for a Sunday matchup against the New York Yankees.
Dodger Stadium attendance for the series opener was 53,276, and there was a slight drop in their Saturday game against the Yankees to 51,746. Overall, the total Dodgers attendance for the Yankees series was 159,053.
The Dodgers’ exact total for this season is 2,026,238, which comes out to an average of 50,656 per game. They have only averaged 49,000 or more once in franchise history, which came in 2019 at 49,066.
The next closest teams in attendance trail by more than 600,000 with the Padres in second with 1,396,728 fans through 33 games, an average of 42,325 per game.
The Yankees come in third, and first among American League clubs, with 1,475,660 fans through 35 games, an average of 42,161.
The Philadelphia Phillies are the only other team to average 40,000 or more per game, coming in at 41,393 with 1,531,575 total through 37 games.
In comparison, the Athletics have averaged the fewest fans per game, with just 9,802 for a total of 372,498 through 38 games. The Tampa Bay Rays have averaged 9,822 through 46 games for a total of 451,856.
However, both of those teams are playing in Minor League ballparks. The Miami Marlins have had the lowest average attendance from teams in MLB parks with 11,454 fans per game for a total of 423,832 across 37 games.
Dodgers ownership group contributing to attendance
The Dodgers have never averaged fewer than 45,000 fans per game under the Guggenheim Ownership group, aside from 2021 when tickets were limited due to COVID-19 precautions and the 2020 season when fans were not allowed.
But with Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers have seen a boost in attendance. They’ve also heavily invested in their roster aside from those two superstars, bringing in star players such as Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Teoscar Hernández and Tanner Scott.
Fans have rewarded the Dodgers’ ownership group for spending, and in turn, ownership has kept their promise to put a winning club on the field every season and continuing to spend money to upgrade when they can.
