Joliet, IL – The Joliet Slammers have started their season with a bang, drawing large crowds over the opening weekend at the Joliet Slammers Stadium. More than 10,000 fans turned up for the first three games against the Evansville Otters, marking a significant success for the team. Notably, the weekend featured appearances by co-owners Mike Veeck and Bill Murray, adding to the festive atmosphere.
On Friday, the game attracted 5,113 spectators, followed by 4,293 on Saturday. Sunday saw a slight dip with 991 fans, likely due to competing events and weather conditions.
