The Tucson Roadrunners unveiled their mascot name Thursday at Tully Elementary, and his name is Dusty!

The team received more than 500 submissions in the naming contest, and after more than a week of voting, Dusty got the most support.

The Roadrunners first game is Friday October 28, 2016, at 7:05 p.m. The Roadrunners will face the Stockton Heat. Tickets are still available online and at the Tucson Convention Center Arena. All fans in attendance will receive a commemorative ticket for attending the team's first game in Tucson.
