Austin Pioneers Poised To Break Attendance Record
Manager Hank Oana predicted 200000 season attendance for Austin but may be optimistic. The Pioneers expect to top last year’s Big State League attendance record of 166000 as fans return to Disch Field. First 11 home dates show 24417 in 1950 versus 23160 last year, despite poor weather. Tex Hughson’s appearances boosted crowds by about 1200 per game, but this year’s totals depend on staying in the first division and ongoing fan interest.
