The minor league season for many years ended on Labor Day, with the playoffs starting two days later. That of course changed in 2021 with the extension of the calendar length of the minor league season and the reduction in the size of the playoffs.
There were some exceptions, but in general the minor league playoffs didn't draw as well as the regular season.
