Worcester Red Sox News Release


WORCESTER, MA - For the 4th straight year, fans of the Worcester Red Sox have crossed the 500,000-ticket mark, making the WooSox the only one of all 120 clubs in Minor League Baseball to reach that milestone each of the past four years.

Ticket sales for "WooSox '25" exceeded 500,000 early this morning, and the club celebrated the moment when gates opened for tonight's 6:05 p.m. game against the Rochester Red Wings.

Three members of the Quinsigamond Community College baseball team received a shower of gifts inside the Gate D Lobby at Polar Park upon arrival at the ballpark. Freshman players Ryan Miley from Northbridge, MA and Jacob Jurado from Auburn, MA; and sophomore Jayden Larson from Worcester were the lucky recipients as the trio represented all WooSox fans for passing the 500,000th ticket plateau. They, along with 12 other members of the QCC baseball team, had their seats upgraded to the Big Blue Bug Batter's Box next to the WooSox dugout for tonight's game at Polar Park.

Polar Park was named the "Best Ballpark in Triple-A" by Ballpark Digest and USA Today. The ballclub and ballpark conclude their fifth season this Sunday at 1:05 p.m.

Through their first five seasons, the top affiliate of the Boston Red Sox and their ballpark have received at least 16 honors, distinctions, and accolades.
