On Monday we posted attendance figures for the 2022 summer collegiate season, which ended Sunday. Here’s some perspective and some interesting backgrounds on some of the numbers posted.
So many people in the baseball industry launched the season looking for signs of normalcy after a rough 2021. If you’re a regular reader of Ballpark Digest, you’ll see stories regularly peppered with references to signs of normalcy for over a year now. It seems like a lifetime ago now, but let’s not forget how many summer-collegiate teams began 2021 play under some sort of operating restrictions. Between these restrictions, an iffy economy and health concerns about COVID-19, 2021 presented some challenges, which manifested in depressed attendance levels.
As it ends up, with no operating restrictions and less concern about COVID-19, 2022 summer collegiate attendance numbers looked a lot more like they did in 2019 than they did in 2020. Most teams and leagues came back after 2020 and 2021 shutdowns, and as a result we saw plenty of bumps in attendance. The Canadian teams in the West Coast League pursued a limited, northern schedule in 2021, while much of the Western Canadian Baseball League also skipped the 2021 season or scheduled play on a limited basis.
