The Dragons finished first among the 60 Class-A teams in professional baseball, ranking #1 among Class-A teams for the 25th consecutive season (every year of the Dragons existence). The Dragons also led the Midwest League in attendance for the 25th straight year.

The Dragons finished #1 among all teams below the Triple-A level (Single-A and Double-A) for the 19th straight season. There are 90 teams below the Triple-A level in professional baseball.

Additionally, the Dragons also hosted many other events at Day Air Ballpark in 2025 including the 25th Season Celebration Game with the Reds (Reds final spring training game of 2025), 16 high school baseball games featuring local schools, college baseball, 5k run/walk, beer fest, charity walks, and movie nights. In the upcoming weeks/months, Day Air Ballpark will host a new holiday light show called Deck the Diamond, and the Dragons will open a new event center, the Diamond Club.

The Dragons are owned and operated by Diamond Baseball Holdings.
