The Ottawa Titans say they’ve sold all 10,278 tickets for their home opener at Ottawa Stadium next Friday.
The pro baseball team says that sets a league record and sells out the venue for the first time since the Ottawa Lynx did it in September 2002.
Last year’s home opener brought in 7,152 fans. The team said it has increased its attendance every season, averaging more than 2,100 fans per game in 2025.
The Titans are entering their fifth season in the Frontier League, with two playoff berths to show for it.
The league’s 18 teams from Ontario and Quebec south to Mississippi are not directly affiliated with a Major League Baseball club like the Lynx were, though they occasionally bring in former major leaguers or have alumni make the big leagues.
The May 8 home opener is at 7 p.m. against the four-time defending champion Québec Capitales. There’s a pre-game jersey giveaway to the first 5,000 fans and post-game fireworks and autographs.
After problems with traffic congestion around last year’s home opener, the team has partnered with OC Transpo to make transit free with a ticket. The Titans are also promising improved concessions.
