last night, the record for longest sellout streak came to an end. The record was 820 games held by the Boston Red Sox. 794 of those games were regular season games. The streak started all the way back in 2003, just one year before the curse of the bambino came to an end after 86 years of not winning a world series. The sellout streak is the longest in all of Major Pro sports, beating the Portland Trail Blazers by just 6 games. The Trail Blazers streak was from the years 1977 all the way to 1995.

This is a super long streak! I cant believe it finally came to an end! They even won this game!
That's cool how popular the Red Sox are. It's cool how they keep track of these kind of things.
I wonder if someone can really eat stake so big, I personally think that nobody can eat that. And that would cost a lot of money
I can't believe that they sold out that many games in a row!! Imagine how disappointed they would be if they missed selling out by just a few tickets.
Wow! I'm sad that the streak ended after such a long time but it is really cool that they kept it that long!
Thats crazy seeing how much you can seel out in sports games thats alot of money and deadicated fans.
that's pretty sad for such a good team! i wonder why they didn't sell out
That's sad it had to end. Something like this you hope will go on forever. I heard about this on the news. This is a close record. I honestly don't know who the Trail Blazers are.
That is a long time, and a lot of money.
