South Bend Cubs report attendance record

Despite lousy spring weather the South Bend Cubs say they set a new attendance record in April.

The organization says 43,749 fans attended games at Four Winds Field in April, breaking the mark of 40,114 fans in April of 2016.

“This is a huge milestone for our organization,” said South Bend Cubs Owner and Chairman Andrew Berlin. “Historically, April is a month many Minor League Baseball teams in colder climates struggle to get fans to come out to the ballpark. Over the last eleven years, we’ve made Four Winds Field a destination where families and groups come together to enjoy an afternoon or evening and leave their worries outside the gates. This is just the beginning of what will surely be another record-breaking year for our franchise.”

The South Bend Cubs are in the middle of a twelve game homestand and welcome the Cedar Rapids Kernels to Four Winds Field that began Tuesday, May 2.
