Nat'l headquarters did a heck'va job in selecting Shelby, NC as the permanent local for the Legion World Series.
The 2011 American Legion World Series had 86,000 paid attendance.
All 15 games of The American Legion World Series were aired live on ESPN3.com. And the number of fans who came out to Keeter Stadium to support the eight regional champions created history.
During Game 9 on Sunday, the Legion World Series reached a record total paid-attendance crowd of more than 60,000, beating the record established 75 years ago in Spartansburg, S.C.
But after the championship game Tuesday evening, the number of fans soared another 26,000 for a total of 86,000 paid-attendance.
