Dayton Dragons News Release
DAYTON, OH - For the sixth consecutive season, the Dayton Dragons will play host to high school baseball, as 36 high school teams from Ohio and Indiana will play regular season games at Fifth Third Field.
The 21 games will showcase 36 teams throughout April and May while the Dragons are away at other Midwest League ballparks. Admission is free, and concession stands will be open so that fans can enjoy a full and exciting day at the ballpark.
What began as an 11-game event in 2006 has expanded in 2011 to the current schedule of 21 games. The games are open - free of charge - to all fans and media wanting to attend the event. Last season more than 8,000 fans attended high school baseball games at Fifth Third Field.
The high schools are able to provide their own PA announcers, cheer squads, national anthem singers, and some schools even bring their own radio broadcasters to the ballpark. Participating high schools sell Dragons tickets to help raise money for their programs.
