Gwinnett Braves Near 1 Millionth Fan

Team could hit milestone soon; prizes await winner.

The Gwinnett Braves likely will achieve a milestone in the current homestand -- the 1 millionth fan at Coolray Field.

The G-Braves have drawnΒ 989,979 fans to the Lawrenceville park since moving from Richmond, Va., in 2009, including Friday's victory over Norfolk that drew about 5,900 fans. The team will be at home through Thursday.

The lucky fan will receive prizes galore. Among the awards will be two free tickets to an Atlanta Braves game, as well as a limo ride to that contest; G-Braves season tickets for the rest of 2011 and all of 2012, and free parking; and autographed equipment.
