The Dayton Dragons are a Class A minor league baseball team from Dayton, Ohio affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds. They play in the Midwest League at Fifth Third Field.

The Dragons came to Dayton in 2000. They were previously a franchise based in Rockford, Illinois and were called the Rockford Expos (1988-1992), Rockford Royals (1993-1994), Rockford Cubbies (1995-1998), and Rockford Reds (1999).

The team's home park is Fifth Third Field in Dayton, Ohio.

During its first season the Dragons set a class A baseball attendance record of 581,853. That record was broken in 2003 when 590,382 fans ranking seventh in all of minor league baseball went through the turnstiles.

The Dragons average 8,375 fans per game, or 116% of capacity. The Dragons have been the top Class A team in attendance every year of their existence, and have set and re-broken the record for Class A attendance three times.[1] On April 17, 2007, the Dragons enjoyed their 500th consecutive sellout, at the time the longest current streak in professional sports.[2] Opening Day 2009, April 9, was the club's 636th consecutive sellout; all other home games for 2009 were already sold out before the season began (with a season ticket waiting list of over 9,000), guaranteeing the club of selling out all 70 home game for the 10th consecutive year (which brought their streak to 705 games at the end of the 2009 season).[3] Though the Dragons still hold the longest current sellout streak, the all-time professional record is 814 games, set by the Portland Trail Blazers from 1977-1995.[4]
