Buffalo Breaks Franchise Attendance Record

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The American Assn. Buffalo Bisons, with the help of the city’s new downtown baseball stadium, have attracted a franchise-record number of fans in just 34 home dates.

The Bisons, who have their sights set on obtaining a future major league franchise, have drawn 507,834 fans to date at 19,500-seat Pilot Field. A crowd of 13,657 watched the Bisons lose, 4-2, to the Tidewater Tides Wednesday afternoon, but break the old Buffalo baseball season attendance mark of 497,760 set last year.
