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.

Packed house

I don't catch this until checking the Frontier League's homepage today. The Wild Things' game Sunday at Traverse City was played before a crowd of 8,211 at Wuerfel Park. It was the largest crowd to see a Wild Things game in their history, easily surpassing the previous record of 6,820 for a game at Evansville on July 24, 2004.

The Consol Energy Park attendance record is one that won't be broken any time soon. It's 4,247, set Aug. 23, 2003 for a game against Florence.
