Chinatrust Brothers
It has been a huge let down for Brothers. The once CPBL attendance powerhouse is now struggling in 2017. 28 games into the 2017 they’re 25% down against 2016. With Fubon Guardians allocating most of their home games in Xinzhuang might be a factor to 25% drop.

Uni-Lions
Lions has been pretty consistent this year. With a slight 8.2% drop in attendance.
Here’s something very interesting when looking at Lions’ stats. For the other 3 teams, there seems to be a huge gap between their weekend vs weekday attendance. As weekend attendance is normally double the weekday figure.
However, for Lions there isn’t much of a gap. Their weekend and weekday average are almost identical. (4230 weekday, 4852 weekend).

Fubon Guardians
Guardians is also another team that is doing well comparing with their 2016 attendance stats with a 5% increase. Maybe having most of their home games at Xinzhuang is one of the reason for the 5% growth.
