Fans are coming out in droves to see the Arizona
Diamondbacks.

According to the team, the D-backs have drawn 41,677 fans to
their first four home games at Salt River Fields in
Scottsdale, with two of those games being sellouts.

The team set a stadium record with 12,546 fans on March 4th,
and is averaging a Cactus League-best 10,419 per home game.

Salt River Fields will host even more fans this week, as
Tuesday’s game against the Angels and Friday’s tilt with the
White Sox are both sold out, and a limited number of tickets
remain for Wednesday’s game against the Padres, which is
also expected to sell out.
