Fri Apr 25 04:00:00 UTC 2025: **Diamondbacks Face Attendance Woes Despite Strong On-Field Performance**
PHOENIX, AZ – The Arizona Diamondbacks are experiencing a significant drop in attendance at Chase Field, raising concerns despite the team’s promising on-field performance. Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays drew only 16,100 fans, the lowest attendance of the season and the second-lowest in the past two years. This marks a sharp decline compared to similar series against the Rays two years ago, which averaged 22,000 fans per game.
Overall attendance for the first twelve games of the 2025 season is down 1,891 fans per game compared to the same period in 2024. While the opposing teams this year (Cubs, Orioles, Brewers, Rays) are arguably less of a draw than those in 2024 (Rockies, Yankees, Cardinals, Cubs), the disparity is notable. One contributing factor could be the difference in day-of-week scheduling; the 2024 series against the Yankees, played on a Monday-Wednesday, attracted significantly larger crowds.
Despite the low attendance figures, the Diamondbacks are performing well, on pace for 94.5 wins – their best since 2002. However, their current fourth-place standing in the NL West may be impacting fan interest. Experts suggest that the team’s performance will ultimately be the deciding factor in boosting attendance.
