Twins Climbing The Standings Yet Attendance Lags Behind

The Minnesota Twins have so far struggled to bring in fans to enjoy a game from the friendly confines of Target Field. That's despite the team going on a tear, having gone 26-14 over their last 40 games, pushing the team into 2nd place in the loaded AL Central.

Winning (& Losing) Streaks Define Season So Far

The Twins started the season mired in losses, dropping their first four games before getting their first win against the Chicago White Sox on April 1st. The team's overall record didn't get much better until about April 25, when the team went on a short four-game winning streak before losing their next four.

One of the early defining moments of the young season happened after that four-game skid closing out April, and starting May off with two L's. It was on May 3rd that the team won its first of 13 straight to pull the team up the standings and bring some excitement to both fans and players alike.

Where the team stands for attendance so far in 2025

According to ESPN.com, the Minnesota Twins are averaging 20,083 fans a game, good for 25th in the MLB Attendance standings. When you sort those stats by total fans so far this season at Target Field, the team sinks two spots to 27th, having had 562,324 fans over a total of 28 home games this year.

The last two years, the Twins have seen just under 2 million total fans walk through the turnstiles, and right now, the Twins will be looking at a decline of 300,000 fans if the current per-game average holds.

Winning Baseball Games Helps

As the old sports adage goes, winning cures everything, is hopefully, what will bring the fans back to, in my opinion, one of the best places to catch a game, across MLB. If you are looking for tickets to a game, you shouldn't have much of an issue right now, but if the Twins can continue to get closer to the Detroit Tigers, there might be some more pressure on people to get to a game to experience the winning in person.
