Albuquerque Isotopes News Release
routine night at the ballpark for one Albuquerque family proved to be anything but routine, as Myja Peterson became the 5-millionth fan to attend an Albuquerque Isotopes game since the team's inception in 2003.
Myja, her husband Gundar, son Noah, and mother-in-law Elizabeth came to Isotopes Park for some baseball and fireworks and were greeted after coming through the turnstile by âTopes General Manager John Traub and Orbit, who informed her she was the team's 5-millionth visitor. For being the lucky fan, Myja gets two free round-trip tickets to Los Angeles on American Airlines, two hotel nights courtesy of Classic Travel and two tickets to a Dodgers game. Myja also received a personalized Isotopes jersey and the whole family was outfitted in Isotopes hats.
The Isotopes reached the 4-million milestone on August 26, 2009, meaning it took just 124 games for the team to rack up its next million visitors.
Including Myja and her family, the âTopes have drawn 353,405 fans this year, third most in the Pacific Coast League.
