OMAHA, NE - A crowd of 6,090 fans came out to watch the Omaha Royals game Thursday night at Rosenblatt Stadium. That pushed the all-time attendance of the Triple-A franchise to 11,004,819 fans in its' 41-year history. To celebrate reaching the 11-millionth fan milestone, the Royals will be celebrating at each of their eleven home dates in June.

At each of those June dates one fan will be randomly selected to win a prize package including: four Reserved seat tickets to the annual Omaha World-Herald Fireworks Spectacular on Friday, July 3rd; a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge; a gift certificate to the Royal Treasures gift shop at Rosenblatt.

Those eleven winners will be brought onto the field following the July 3rd game and one of those will be announced as the winner of the 11-Millionth Fan Grand Prize, which includes: a 32-inch flat screen TV; two Reserved season tickets for the final season at Rosenblatt in 2010; a Royals game day hat; a jersey with the number 11,000,000 printed on the back.

Also, at each of the eleven June home dates, the Royals will offer an item on sale for $11 at Royal Treasures. And on Monday, June 29th, all eleven-year old fans will get free admission to the Royals 7:05 p.m. game that will feature $1 hot dogs. The team has also created a special 11-Millionth Fan Mini Plan containing Reserved seat tickets for eleven dates, including the July 3rd game and the contest on July 17th to be followed by Tracy Lawrence in concert.

"Our ownership group and staff are privileged to have welcomed our 11-millionth fan in franchise history," said Martie Cordaro, Royals Vice President/General Manager. "We look forward to celebrating our 12-millionth fan in 2011."

In addition, the Royals will mark hitting the 11-million fan mark by giving back to the community. On Thursday, June 11th, the Royals staff members will all be chipping in for a combined eleven hours of community service. Those projects include assisting elderly Royals fans, cleaning up the Gene Leahy Mall for Keep Omaha Beautiful, serving lunch at the Open Door Mission, packing weekend food backpacks for Camp Fire USA and more.
