Later that month, the âTopes set a three-day attendance record by welcoming 38,052 fans for a weekend series on July 29-31.
Of the team's all-time top 10 single-game attendances, five were achieved this year alone, including two of the top three, and three of the top five in team history.
In the inaugural 2003 season, the team drew 576,867 fans, followed up by a great 2004 in which the âTopes welcomed 575,607 to Isotopes Park.
The three-year total is in excess of 1,700,000, for an average of more than 8,100 per game. The âTopes will welcome their 2,000,000th fan in franchise history in mid-2006.
