As a part of this special celebration during this game, the millionth fan in SRP Park history will enter through the gates, with millionth-themed giveaways planned during the game, courtesy of Musco Sports Lighting. “We are tremendously excited to welcome the Millionth Fan to SRP Park on opening night,” stated GreenJackets Vice President, Tom Denlinger. “One million fans is a tremendous accomplishment in just four full seasons here in the CSRA, and we are thrilled to celebrate our fans with the millions-themed promotions we have in store.”

All fans in attendance will be able to register to be the “Millionth Fan”. One lucky fan will be selected as the Millionth Fan and will win the ultimate Augusta GreenJackets prize pack, other great prizes, and will have the chance to win a million pennies – $10,000 – in a skills-based post-game contest.
