The Atlanta Braves in 2015 averaged 25,017 fans per game. In their final season at Turner Field, Atlanta's MLB franchise pulled in just a few more fans.
Per MLB policy, since 1993, announced attendance represents tickets sold, not the number of people in the stadium.
The Braves' lowest attendance for a season was in 1975 with 534,672 fans attending a game. (The number reflects actual turnstile count.) The Braves drew 2,020,914 fans in 2016, up slightly from 2015's 2,001,392 attendance low.
