Dragons President & General Manager Robert Murphy thanked the Dragons fans for voting the organization to these special honors:

"When we started the Dayton Dragons, we set out with the mission to provide quality family entertainment and a place the entire Miami Valley will want to enjoy for years to come. For 25 seasons, we've embraced our community, and we've been uplifted by them. When we're honored as the 'Best of Dayton', it is a direct reflection of our wonderful fans, and through their support we've become synonymous with summer in downtown Dayton. Over our time in downtown Dayton we have watched as the Water Street District around the ballpark has grown, and that growth does not happen without their continued support. We're so grateful for the lasting memories we've created together, and we look forward to the many memories to come."
