6,057,323 spectators in 418 games since opening 10 million spectators possible

First time in professional baseball history, attendance exceeds 6 million in the first half

The professional baseball KBO League has achieved the record for the lowest number of spectators in history at 6 million for a game.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on the 4th, “The KBO League gathered 5,993,122 spectators as of the 3rd, and on the 4th, 64,201 spectators entered 5 stadiums across the country, recording a total of 6,057,323 spectators,” adding, “It set a record of surpassing 6 million spectators in just 418 games since the opening.”

With this, professional baseball broke the record of the lowest number of spectators in a game (game 419, 2012) of 6 million for the first time in 12 years.

This year, professional baseball is enjoying a boom thanks to various favorable factors, such as the return of Hanwha Eagles’ Ryu Hyun-jin to Korea, the good performances of popular teams KIA Tigers and LG Twins, and the equalization of power among the 10 teams.

Professional baseball surpassed 1 million spectators in just 70 games since its opening on April 10, and surpassed 2 million spectators in just 148 games on April 27.

The 3 million spectators mark was reached on May 16th, after 217 games, and the 4 million spectators mark was reached on June 2nd, after 285 games. 메이저사이트

There were no brakes on the box office success.

The KBO League, which surpassed 5 million spectators on June 15, surpassed 6 million spectators on the 4th, the last day of the first half.

The professional baseball world is cautiously expecting to attract 10 million spectators.

The highest attendance in a single professional baseball season was 8,406,888 in 2017.

This season, professional baseball games averaged 14,491 spectators per game, and 302 games were played in the second half.

If the current trend continues, it is possible to gather about 4.37 million people in the second half, which means it is mathematically possible to surpass 10 million viewers. 토토사이트
