The Lehigh Valley IronPigs led all minor leagues in total attendance and in average attendance for the 2023 season, the IronPigs announced Tuesday.
The ‘Pigs attracted 567,322 fans this season and averaged 7,990 per game. It’s the first time since 2012 that the IronPigs have led all of minor league baseball in both categories.
The IronPigs had 71 home games during their 15th season and had 31 sellouts and 15 capacity sellouts (10,100 in attendance). It was the third time the IronPigs led the minor leagues in attendance. They led in both average and total attendance in 2011 and 2012, while leading in average attendance in 2010.
Since the team’s inception in 2008, the IronPigs have never finished lower than eighth in total or average attendance and have ranked within the top five in both categories 12 out of 15 seasons.
“We want to thank our sponsors, community partners, employees and our fans for their fantastic support over 15 seasons,” said Kurt Landes, IronPigs president and general manager, “To lead all of Minor League Baseball in attendance in our 15th season is an incredible testament that we’re so very proud of our community and Bacon USA.”
