Welcome Minor Legue Baseball to Reno


Tonight marked the first home game of the Reno Aces, our new minor league baseball team in Reno. I have been jazzed all week to go to the game and it didn't disappoint. It was very slow, but we won against the Salt Lake Bees 11-1!!!
The stadium which is right in the heart of downtown Reno has seats for 6,500 and a lawn area for another 3,000. The place was packed!!!! You couldn't even get into the team store to get a shirt because the line at one point was 250 deep! Let's hope this momentum sticks, it really is a great thing for our biggest little city to have.
After the game they let all the kids run the bases, there had to be 1,500 kids of all ages, I wasn't interested. I will do it next time.
The biggest and best thing of the baseball game was the fireworks at the end! After all the festivities were over, the stadium lights came back on, and the music stopped playing I turned to my daddy and said, 'If my GG was here she would no be happy with how loud those fireworks were.' She would have definitely made that noise she made at loud startling things.
We had a great time! Go Reno Aces!
