TOLEDO, OH - The Toledo Mud Hens hit a major attendance milestone on Tuesday, May 8, by welcoming their nine-millionth fan to walk through the turnstiles at Fifth Third Field.

Our nine-millionth fan, Principal Alex Chapman, along with his students from Monroe Road Elementary, were in attendance for the second Mud Hens School Celebration Day. The team awarded Mr. Chapman with a Mud Hens jersey, two 9-game Flock memberships for the 2018 seas, and a $900 check to the school from the Helping Hens charitable fund.

"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome our nine-millionth fan to this world-class facility," says Mud Hens General Manager Erik Ibsen. "We celebrate the support our fans continue to give us as we enter our 17th season. Fifth Third Field continues to be a cornerstone of the many outstanding developments happening in downtown Toledo. We are honored to share in their experiences and look forward to many more seasons of fun-filled, family-friendly entertainment at the ballpark."

Since the opening of Fifth Third Field in downtown Toledo in April of 2002, there have been 464 sellouts, including one sellout this year. Attendance has topped the half-million mark every season since Fifth Third Field has been in operation.
