Dragons have 6,634 on wait list

By the Dayton Daily News

Friday, May 11, 2007

It's a "problem" any business would love to have: Overwhelming demand for its product.

The Dayton Dragons have been blessed with this problem from the day they played their first game seven years ago; Thursday night marked the minor-league baseball team's 514th consecutive Fifth Third Field sellout.

Extras

Want season tickets? You'll have to add your name to a waiting list, but your patience might be tested because 95 percent of the team's 5,000 season-ticket accounts renew each season.

Oh, and that wait list? It contains 6,634 names, including business leaders and other prominent citizens, all looking for a way in, all requiring nurturing from the team's front office.

Meanwhile, the Dragons are running away with the Midwest League's Eastern Division, doing their part to keep interest elevated.

Thursday, however, brought a hiccup in the form of a 2-1 loss to the Peoria Chiefs despite strong pitching by Travis Webb.
