Abstract
In this research we aimed to find out the effect of professional baseball teams on the attendance of J. League clubs.
We conducted a regression analysis of the dates of attendance. The dependent variable was the number of spectators per game. In the selection of independent variables, we added 2 baseball variables ( “Baseball game” and “Baseball team franchise” ) to the variables used in existing literature and extracting 16 independent variables.
As a result of regression analysis we found that “Baseball game” had a negative effect on attendance of J. League clubs, and “Baseball team franchise” did not have an effect on it.
