Major League Baseball attendance records

Attendance for all teams 1890–2008 (updated)

Most pre-season attended game in history

115,301 is the all-time record. It was a preseason game between the defending champions Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday March 29, 2008 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.[1]

Least attended game in history

Zero spectators attended a game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Chicago White Sox on April 29, 2015 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The game was closed to spectators due to being out of concern for their safety from the 2015 Baltimore protests.[2] The record was previously held by an 1882 game between the Troy Trojans and the Worcester Ruby Legs in Worcester, Massachusetts, which six spectators attended.[3]
