This past homestand, attendance — except for the afternoon game Memorial Day against the Brewers — continued the trend of smaller-than-usual crowds at Wrigley Field for 2022. This shouldn’t surprise you, given the state of the Chicago Cubs baseball team. Weather was still a bit iffy during the week, but with the Cardinals in town, crowds probably should have been larger than they were.
Instead, it was the lowest-drawing “summer series” for the Cardinals at Wrigley since 1982, as BCBer Lifetime Cubs Fan will detail below in his always-excellent ticketing analysis.
First, a couple of numbers. The Cubs have had 31 home games and sold a total of 987,563 tickets, or an average of 31,857 per game.
