The Goldeyes once again topped all independent baseball teams in attendance, with average crowds of 5,880 fans per game in 2013.

On the field, the Goldeyes finished with the fourth-best record at 56-44, but were 2.5 games short of making the playoffs and trying to repeat as American Association champions.
