TinCaps eclipse franchise attendance record
Mark falls for second straight seasonFor the second time in as many seasons at Parkview Field, the TinCaps set a single-season franchise attendance record. A total of 384,866 fans have come through the turnstiles of the downtown ballpark this season.
“I can’t thank our fans enough for supporting the team throughout this season,” TinCaps president Mike Nutter said. “The atmosphere at Parkview Field this year has been electric. We’ve worked hard to create a great experience for the fans. To have folks respond the way they have is extremely gratifying.”
Friday’s crowd of 7,936 sent the season total past the old record of 378,529, set last year in the inaugural season at Parkview Field. Three games remain on the TinCaps’ regular-season home schedule.
