It was 1991 and the baseball season was
approaching when the Kane County Cougars
shocked the Minor League community by moving
their franchise from quiet Wausau, Wisconsin
into the shadow of two Major League teams in
Chicago. Could a struggling franchise revive
itself by operating within shouting distance
of the Cubs and White Sox? Would Cougar fans
display support in this new environment?
Throughout the years, the statistics have
spoken a truth, which reveals a team
revived, with their loyal fans ever present.
The Cougars continue to set a standard of
excellence, both on and off the field. In
2010, the Cougars surpassed the 400,000 mark
in yearly attendance for the 17th straight
season, while making the playoffs for the
sixth time in their last eight seasons. The
organization remains of the top-drawing
clubs across all of Minor League Baseball in
terms of attendance.
Did you know that the Cougars have sent more
than 100 players to the Major Leagues? See
