We’ve spent 10 years calling the Lehigh Valley our home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to play ball. For 10 years, you have embraced the Pigs, flocking to the ball park game after game.

We have played 672 games in the Valley since 2008, and you have bought every ticket to 460 of them.

Through the good times and the bad, we have had the honor to open our gates to the best fans in MiLB. And we’re not just saying that, Fox News dubbed you all as the best.

Leading up to this season, we have hit the 600,000 mark for 9 straight seasons. In case you are wondering, we’re the only minor league team to eclipse that mark for the last 9 seasons.

Still not impressed?

In our 10 seasons as a franchise we have had the honor to host 10,100 fans (a capacity sellout) 157 times! On average 8,935 of you come out to each game, and yes that is the best mark in MiLB.

For being the fourth smallest market in Triple-A baseball, you all sure know how to make a franchise feel like the largest.

Our new total since 2008, and there’s still 15 games left in the season, we have hosted 6,014, 506 fans! I wish we could thank you all individual, but we might be here awhile.

It is with the deepest gratitude that we Thank you all collectively. We couldn’t have asked for a more passionate, loyal, and dedicated fan base to fill our park night in and night out.

We can’t wait to see what the next 10 years brings in the valley, but we do know that you’ll be “Oinking on” with us!
