Sugar Land Space Cowboys News Release
Sugar Land, TEXAS - Skeeter fans turned out in record numbers launching the Sugar Land's new minor league team into national attendance leaders and the record books. The four game series average attendance of 7,353 April 26-29 currently ranks the club fifth among the more than 200 minor league baseball teams in the nation. The four game total attendance mark of 29,413 is also a new Atlantic League attendance record.
