RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced on Thursday that the baseball team ranked 30^th among the 307 NCAA Division I baseball teams in average attendance and 34^th in total attendance during the 2025 season.
 
UTRGV welcomed a program record 82,258 fans for 28 games across 26 dates, a program record average of 3,164 fans per date.
 
This is the third-straight season UTRGV has eclipsed its program record in attendance and the second in a row breaking the program record for average attendance. Last year, UTRGV drew what was then a program record 62,132 fans across 28 dates for an average of 2,219 fans per date. UTRGV also broke the program record for total attendance in 2023 with a season attendance of 45,461. UTRGV's attendance this season was 81% higher than that of the 2023 season and 32% higher than that of the 2024 season.
 
Over the last three years, UTRGV has welcomed 24 crowds of 3,000+, a feat accomplished twice over the team's first 21 seasons at UTRGV Baseball Stadium (2003 and 2022). UTRGV welcomed 14 crowds of 3,000+ in 2025 after drawing 3,000+ seven times in 2024 and three times in 2023.
 
UTRGV welcomed four of the seven largest crowds in program history this past season, eclipsing 6,000 three times, including a program record 6,537 for a game against Stephen F. Austin on April 12. Two of the aforementioned seven crowds were on Saturdays, including the March 22 game against Houston Christian University (6,324). The other two were on Tuesdays, as UTRGV drew 6,189 for a game against Texas State on May 13 and 5,111 for a game against Texas Southern on March 18.
 
UTRGV ranked 10^th in the nation in average Tuesday attendance (5,236), 21^st in average Saturday attendance (4,276), and 28^th in average Friday attendance (3,190).
 
UTRGV also had the seventh-best total attendance and average attendance outside the Power 4.
 
"To break our season attendance record by such a wide margin three seasons in a row is a testament to the incredible people of the Rio Grande Valley, our sponsors, and our hard-working staff," UTRGV Vice President and Director of Athletics Chasse Conque said. "Between the electric energy provided by our fans, the product our coaches and student-athletes put on the field, the support of our corporate partners for tailgates and promotions, the creativity of our marketing and promotions staff, the fan experience packages created by our ticketing team, and our remarkable presence on digital and in traditional media, every baseball game has become a must-attend event. It's incredible to see the how much pride the Valley has in our ball club and it's growing exponentially."
