Record night in Evansville

The Evansville Otters set the record for largest attendance in Bosse Field's 97-year history Saturday night when 8,120 showed up on Breast Cancer Awareness Night to see the Otters' 8-7 victory over the Gateway Grizzlies.

Until somebody proves otherwise, I'm going with this also being the Frontier League single-game attendance record.

UPDATE: Received an email from Frontier League deputy commissioner Steve Tahsler concerning the attendance in Evansville.

Steve said the Frontier League's single-game attendance record is 10,250 for a game in Johnstown on July 4, 2000. The game was preceeded by a concert performed by the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra and followed by fireworks.

The league's six games on Sept. 5, 2010 set the one-day attendance record of 30,854. Traverse City drew 8,211 that day.
