The Blue Wahoos welcomed its 200,000th fan, Chris Bridges of Pensacola, FL, on Thursday, July 5, 2012 at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. The contest also marked the team's 28th inaugural season sellout. The Wahoos are the first Southern League team to hit the 200,000 milestone this season.

"It is a great tribute to our dedicated community that we were the first team in our league to reach 200,000 fans this season," said Blue Wahoos president, Bruce Baldwin. "We have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of our fans and we couldn't be more thankful and appreciative to the 200,000 people who have come through our gates."

Blue Wahoos staff and Kazoo, the team's mascot, greeted Bridges and his family at the top of the main entrance to celebrate the milestone. Bridges won a prize pack that included hats, programs and tickets to a future Blue Wahoos game.

The Blue Wahoos have 27 home games remaining this season.
