I started this project thinking the relationship between winning and attendance would be simple.
Win more games.
Get more fans.
Turns out baseball is way weirder than that.
The big-market teams like the Major League Baseball heavyweights absolutely explode in attendance when they win. No surprise there.
But then you find teams like the Rockies, where attendance stays strong even when the record doesn’t. Meanwhile, smaller-market teams can put together winning seasons and still struggle to draw crowds.
That’s where this got interesting.
Winning matters. But market size, tradition, history, and fan culture matter too.
The Dodgers and Yankees sit in the “winning + massive crowds” category. The Rays are over here winning quietly in front of what feels like a very committed PTA meeting. And the Cardinals continue proving baseball in St. Louis is less a sport and more a regional religion.
Same league. Completely different realities.
This dashboard looks at how market size changes the relationship between winning and attendance across MLB teams using Tableau scatterplots, trend lines, and attendance data.
Honestly, this one stopped being about baseball pretty quickly.
It became a project about human behavior.
