Attendance Up for KBO Games

The Korean Baseball Organization, which kicked off its season earlier this month, is drawing in a solid stream of fans following the nation’s second-place finish in this year’s World Baseball Classic.

As of Monday, about 402-thousand people have attended 32 games since the start of the season, up 30 percent from last year’s 310-thousand.

If the pace continues, the 532 games scheduled for this year could draw more than six million spectators.

Korean baseball drew five-and-a-quarter million fans last year, topping the five million mark for the first time in 13 years.

The KBO increased the number of games per team this year to 133 from 126.
