The Ottawa Titans will be playing before a sold-out crowd at the Ottawa Stadium next week for their home opener.

The baseball team said in a news release on Thursday that this is the first sellout at the baseball stadium since 2002, when the Ottawa Lynx were the home team.

The 10,278 tickets sold marks a new Frontier League attendance record. The previous record of 10,250 fans was set by the Johnstown Steal on July 4, 1997, the Titans said.

“We’re incredibly proud of the support Ottawa-Gatineau has shown,” said Titans general manager Martin Boyce in a release. “I can’t think of a better city – or better fans – to set a new league attendance record.”

The Titans say nearly 100,000 fans attended home games last season, a 16 per cent increase over the year before.

Opening Day 2026 takes place on May 8. The first pitch is at 7 p.m. It will include live pregame and in-game entertainment, food trucks, and a jersey giveaway for the first 5,000 fans to arrive at the stadium.

The team is also hoping to set a donation record for the Ottawa Titans Field of Dreams Foundation through its 50/50 draw, benefitting Ottawa children’s charities.
