The San Angelo Colts are set to welcome their millionth fan to Foster Field tomorrow night.
The Colts sit just 2,305 fans away from reaching the one million mark. With the presentation of a new scoreboard and a typical Thirsty Thursday to boot, the Colts expect to easily reach the mark tomorrow night.
“It is quite an accomplishment for an independent league team to reach its one millionth fan,” says Colts General Manager Mike Babcock. “This is a feat that could not be achieved without the support of a strong business community and dedicated fan base."
Babcock, who has seen the Colts draw at least 100,000 fans in each of his three full seasons with the team, has an extensive prize package ready for the lucky fan who passes through Foster Field’s gates tomorrow.
The 1,000,000th fan comes in the team’s 11th season at Foster Field.
