This recent article came out regarding the Mavericks Independent Baseball League attempting to attract new and better talent:
Here are some excerpts from the article:
Walker said average attendance was about 850 per game, though some have estimated it to have been more like half that. It’s a big drop from the Northwest League days that produced such future major-league standouts as Buster Posey, Tim Lincecum, Brandon Crawford, Adam Duvall and more. Attendance varied quite a bit, but was around 3,000 per game in the 2000s, dipping to slightly under 2,000 in 2019.
Walker said the operation wasn’t a fiscal loser in 2021.
“The format is financially sustainable,” he said. “Obviously, it was tough last year. There were a ton of up-front costs with the teams and the uniforms. I wouldn’t say we did as well as we would like to, but we came out in the black.
“We were really excited and happy, given that we had a lot of challenges.”
The league is adding some 1 p.m. Friday “business person’s” games in hopes of drawing more business groups and fans.
