DURHAM — Durham Bulls Athletic Park pulled its best showing yet for combined attendance at the ACC Baseball Championship this week.

Attendance for the event, over 13 games beginning Wednesday, was at 39,669 in a preliminary count by The News & Observer.

That’s the best the event has ever done in Durham, beating the city’s previous high-mark for the event in 1998, when 24,162 showed.

The ACC’s date with history in Boston’s famed Fenway Park has been moved back a year because of a scheduling mistake.
