A Streak for the Ages

The Dragons hold the remarkable distinction of boasting the longest consecutive sell-out streak in U.S. professional sports history, having sold out every home game since their inception. The Dragons officially set the record on July 9, 2011, after selling out 815 consecutive games, and the streak has continued since. The sellout streak only “paused” due to COVID-19: in 2020 because the season was canceled, and in 2021 when all minor league ballparks opened at reduced capacity. At the time of writing, the Dayton Dragons sellout streak has extended to over 1,477 games.

The Dragons have enjoyed success on the field, winning six division titles. They also have a few notable rivalries within the Midwest League. One of their biggest rivals is the nearby Fort Wayne TinCaps. The Dragons also have a rivalry with the Lansing Lugnuts, who they faced in the 2011 Midwest League Championship Series.

Throughout their two-decade history, the Dragons have nurtured and developed numerous talented players who have ascended to the major leagues, including stars like Joey Votto and Jay Bruce. The team’s focus on player development has solidified its reputation as an essential stepping stone for future major league success.

Overall, the Dayton Dragons are a great example of a successful minor league franchise. With a beautiful stadium, a passionate fan base, and a commitment to community involvement, the Dragons are a team that any baseball fan can appreciate.
