PCL nearing attendance milestone

Over 200,000 celebrated Independence Day in league's parks
By
July 6, 2005
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- The Pacific Coast League had over 1.5 million fans in attendance during the month of June raising its yearly total to nearly four million. The League average per game is up over 10 percent from 2004. With over 206,000 fans celebrating America's Independence Day at PCL ballparks on July 3rd and 4th with fireworks displays following the games, teams averaged 12,875 fans. If the season per game average remains constant, the PCL will reach the historical milestone of seven million fans in late August.

This year's All-Star game host city, Sacramento, leads the League in average number of fans per game at 10,178 with Memphis following closely, averaging nearly 10,000 a game. Oklahoma posts the largest per game increase from 2004, up 21.25 percent to 7,287. The newest star in the League, Round Rock, ranks second in total attendance with 434,203 and third in average at 9,649 fans per game in its inaugural Triple-A season.

The Omaha Royals tallied over 22,000 fans attending the Sunday night game and nearly 17,000 fans went out to AutoZone Park in Memphis on Monday.

The Pacific Coast League, established in 1903, has officially begun its quest for the seven million fan milestone, which would be a first for any single circuit in a season in Minor League Baseball history.
