MLB Regular Season

Major League Baseball plays 162 games over the course of a regular season, the longest season of any major American sports league. Baseball fans can watch or listen to a game almost any day of the week, but most will agree there's absolutely nothing that compares to the energy and atmosphere of being at the ballpark for a live Major League game! At the ballpark you feel like you’re part of the game, cheering along with thousands of other fans, experiencing how loud the crack of a bat really is, and strolling by the bullpen to watch pitchers warming up. In many ways you do become part of the game, and teams often mention that their fan's support is part of the secret sauce for winning games. Baseball road trips to go watch away games are popular with many fans, offering new cities to explore and new ballparks to see. Travelling to a road game is a fun getaway with friends but also makes a great solo excursion. The popularity of Major League Baseball continues to grow, and stats show that fan attendance numbers at live games has increased again in 2024, after 2023 had already marked the largest jump in ballpark attendance in 30 years.
