MLB Playoff Openers Kick Off With Mixed Attendance

Attendance for MLB's daytime playoff games remains a troubling issue, but the nature of the league's broadcast operations makes a large-scale scheduling pivot unlikely.

The Braves drew an announced attendance of 30,127 for their wild card win over the Phillies on Tuesday afternoon at Truist Park. That figure is well below the ballpark's capacity of 41,147, as well as Atlanta's 2026 regular-season attendance average of 34,573.
