Dodgers face attendance criticism despite reported playoff crowds over 50,000

The Los Angeles Dodgers have come under scrutiny for attendance during the 2026 postseason, as fans observed empty seats at Dodger Stadium even with reported crowds exceeding 50,000. The debate intensified while the Dodgers faced elimination against the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series. The announced attendance for Game 3 was 50,708, approximately 90.5% of the stadium's capacity of 56,000. Context surrounding the attendance includes record regular-season figures of over 4 million fans, and a decline in resale ticket prices leading up to Game 3, suggesting potential factors in fan turnout. The Dodgers lost Game 3, trailing the series 3-0, making the next game crucial for their playoff hopes.
