ST. LOUIS BUSINESS JOURNAL — The St. Louis Cardinals didn’t just make a jump in the National League Central standings this season. They also climbed a spot league-wide in total home attendance.
The Cardinals had overall attendance of 3.48 million at Busch Stadium in the regular season. That ranks second in Major League Baseball, trailing only the Dodgers’ home attendance of 3.97 million. The New York Yankees were third in MLB and tops in the American League with total attendance of 3.3 million at Yankee Stadium.
The Cardinals’ attendance per game this season was up 2.3% from 2018, which saw the franchise sell 3.4 million tickets and finish third overall in league attendance. MLB attendance figures account for total tickets sold, and the Cardinals do not release actual turnstile attendance.
This year marks the 16th consecutive season and 23rd all-time that the Cardinals have drawn more than 3 million fans, according to the team. The season’s attendance ranks 5th highest in franchise history, officials said. The only seasons that have exceeded this year’s total are 2005, 2007, 2014 and 2015.
