Television ratings and attendance at the Men’s College World Series in Omaha, Neb., narrowly failed to surpass the records established a year ago.

A total of 371,820 spectators attended the 15 games over 10 days this year. Last year, 392,946 attended 16 games at Charles Schwab Field.

With one fewer game this year, the average attendance was a record 24,788. The stadium’s capacity is listed at 24,000.

The total attendance mark was broken each of the three previous years.

On Monday, Tennessee won the best-of-three final series for its first national title, defeating Texas A&M.

In 2023, LSU beat Florida in the three-game championship series.

TV ratings for the MCWS also were slightly lower than in 2023.

Viewership on ESPN platforms averaged 1.56 million compared with last year’s all-time high of 1.65 million.

An average of 2.82 million viewers took in the Tennessee-Texas A&M series. A year earlier, the LSU-Florida series set the record with an average of 2.86 million. Game 3 on Monday drew 3.34 million viewers, ESPN’s second-best figure for a MCWS contest, trailing only the 3.59 million that watched the 2023 finale.
