These farm reports are so in depth and full of informational. It seems like there’s a lot going on with the Mets minors, and I was wondering if one or all of you would have a chance to post who the top five prospects are by level? I have an idea of what something like that might look like but I’m wondering how off base I might be. I’ve never really seen a prospect list done like that before for the Mets and thought it would be cool to see something like that. Anyway, please keep up the great work.

I will say this though teams like Reading, Hampshire, New Britain, Richmond, Portland, and Trenton usually pull in over 5,500+ on average.

Binghamton cannot compete with them in terms of attendance. Their attendance targets are Bowie and Erie mostly.

In MiLB you will always see a spike in attendance for fireworks. The BMets had TWO firework shows this weekend. So their attendance was likely more to do with that than to do with a revival in Binghamton.

Thanks for providing a good read.

The average Eastern League attendance per game for the last couple of years is just over 4,600. So there’s more room to grow. I hope they keep it up. The B-Mets have averaged just over 3,000 each of the last two years — the worst in the league both years.
