This is the seventh time the Braves have had three million fans attend games in a single season.

Past years when they’ve hit that mark include 1992, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2000, and 2022.

The record for the highest regular season attendance was in 1993 with 3,884,720.

It was a big day for the Braves, who came from behind to beat the Cubs for the second game in a row.

It was also a memorable game because Ronald Acuña Jr. made history by creating the 40-70 club.
