"We are proud of the success that the organization had in our inaugural season, including tying the league record for wins by a first-year team and 24 straight sellouts," said Jennings. "There is no better atmosphere than at the Expo on a game day, and we are looking forward to Red Claws fans packing the house in season two. We have a lot of surprises in store for them this year. It's going to be a great season."
