For the month of October 2024 several of us are participating in the 30-Day World Series Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we attempt to learn something about some aspect of the World Series. Today I am focusing on ATTENDANCE at the event.

Changes to design of baseball stadiums have impacted not only the experience but attendance. Regular season games have seen a wide range of numbers and so have World Series Game. The lowest attended World Series Game took place in Game Five of the 1908 event where only 6,210 watched the Chicago Cubs defeat the Detroit Tigers and clinch the championship.

October 23rd-Attendance

Here are some notable World Series attendance records throughout its history:

1. Largest Single-Game Attendance (1959 World Series):

The largest crowd to ever attend a World Series game occurred in Game 5 of the 1959 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox. The game was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and a staggering 92,706 fans were in attendance. The Dodgers won the game 1-0, and this series marked the first World Series appearance for the Dodgers after their move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. The LA Coliseum was the home for the Dodgers from 1958-1961.

2. Highest Average Attendance (1959 World Series):

The 1959 World Series also set the record for the highest average attendance across a series. Over the six games, the series averaged 83,407 fans per game, largely due to the massive crowds at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which could accommodate more fans than traditional baseball stadiums. Three of the six games were played in Los Angles.
