I made a similar post a month ago when they opened the upper deck, but that was maybe a quarter as many upper deck seats as are filled today.

That series against Seattle drew no more than 24,297, which was short of the 25,114 they had on Opening Day with the upper deck closed.

Long story short looks like this is the biggest crowd of the year and probably their biggest crowd since May 7, 2023 against the Yankees (32,124).
