SIOUX FALLS - The Sioux Falls Pheasants concluded a home stand on Sunday evening and vaulted past the 100,000 season attendance milestone, the first time the club has done so since 2009.

The Pheasants have averaged 2,511 fans per game through 40 openings, an increase of nearly 61 percent over the average in 2011. With nine home games remaining, the Pheasants are on pace to see more than 123,000 total fans by season's end.

"It's exciting to see the direction we are headed," said Pheasants CEO/President Tom Garrity. "The fan support has been outstanding, and I know our corporate sponsors have been thrilled with the increase. We hope to finish strong and build some momentum into next season."

Pheasants fans can still take advantage of great deals and fun with nine remaining home games in the month of August, including two weekend series. The Pheasants return home for a three-game series with Fargo-Moorhead beginning this Friday, August 10.

Some of the highlights in August include:
