Quick Summary

Edward Lewis reported that Dodger Stadium was largely empty during a critical game as fans left early due to the Los Angeles Dodgers' poor performance against the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS. The Dodgers faced a 3-0 deficit after losing Wednesday’s game, with ticket prices dropping by 42% before the match began but still failing to fill the stadium. Despite Blake Snell's strong pitching, the team struggled to capitalize on opportunities, leading to their eventual loss and putting them one game away from being swept in the playoffs for the first time since 2023.

Story summary

As of October 15, 2026, Dodger Stadium saw an unusually low attendance during Game 3 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite ticket prices dropping by 42% before the game started, empty seats were prominently visible throughout the stadium. The sparse crowd was particularly noticeable in the upper decks and featured a sprinkling of blue and yellow seats occupied by visiting Brewers fans. This stark contrast highlighted the diminishing support for the home team after they fell behind early in the series with a 3-0 deficit following Wednesday’s 6-2 loss to the Brewers, raising questions about fan loyalty and enthusiasm among Dodgers supporters.
