The Squirrels enter play Saturday night with a total of 2,992,406 fans since the team’s inception back in 2010.

The esteemed guest will join Rodney Martin (2 millionth fan on June 28, 2014) and Ben Young (millionth fan on May 11, 2012) in the exclusive club as the Flying Squirrels wrap up their seventh season in the Eastern League.

“We are thrilled to celebrate together with our wonderful fans as the three millionth fan enters The Diamond to enjoy this experience,” said Squirrels VP & COO Todd “Parney” Parnell. “The success we have had is a direct reflection on the love affair we have with our fans that will continue for many years.”
