LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers have drawn 4 million fans this season for the first time in franchise history.
Los Angeles is the first MLB team to draw 4 million fans since the New York Mets and Yankees did it in 2008. The 2025 Dodgers are only the 10th team in major league history to do it.
The defending World Series champion Dodgers topped the mark Sunday when 46,601 fans attended their regular-season home finale against the San Francisco Giants. They finished the 2025 regular season with a total attendance of 4,012,470 — an average of 49,537 per game.
“For these fans to post and show up every day, it’s incredible,” manager Dave Roberts said. “There’s a reason I feel we have the best fans in sports. The numbers speak to it. You can tell this past weekend, the emotion of the fans and how the players responded. It’s been great.”
The Yankees drew 4 million fans from 2005 to 2008 in each of their final four years at the old Yankee Stadium, while the Toronto Blue Jays did it in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The Colorado Rockies also hit the mark in 1993 while playing at cavernous Mile High Stadium.
The Dodgers list the capacity of Dodger Stadium, which opened in 1962, at an MLB-high 56,000. They've led the major leagues in attendance in 12 of the past 13 seasons since 2013, falling short only in 2020 amid restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Dodgers are wildly popular in Southern California, but they also draw because they're winners: They've clinched a postseason berth for the 13th consecutive year since 2013, matching the second-longest playoff streak in baseball history during a stretch that includes two World Series championships and four NL pennants. They're also likely to clinch their 12th NL West title in 13 years over the next week.
Their large fan base and Shohei Ohtani's worldwide popularity explains why the Dodgers also lead the majors in road attendance, drawing an average of 35,118 fans to opposing parks so far in 2025. Los Angeles finishes the regular season on a six-game trip to Arizona and Seattle.
Los Angeles had crowds with more than 50,000 fans at 46 of its 81 home games this season, and the team never had a crowd under 40,000. The Dodgers keep their fans happy by winning, but also by holding a generous number of fan giveaways during the season, including more than a dozen high-profile bobblehead nights.
The Dodgers didn't top 3 million in attendance in Chavez Ravine until the 1978 season, but they've now done it 36 times.
