It's finally here! Baseball season! I look forward to opening day all winter long. The thing that makes this year so special is one of the best things to hit Northern Nevada since the state became a state (well, that might be an exaggeration but not to me) and that's the Reno Aces triple-A baseball club.
This is the real deal with a beautiful brand new stadium in the heart of Reno. I can't wait to attend a game and cheer on our boys. These guys will give a solid effort every night as they try to secure a spot on the big-league club. There's nothing better for me than the smell of a ballpark; a hot dog and a beer; the crack of the bat and roar of the crowd as the ball sails into the seats. We'll have a new rivalry with the south as we do battle with the Las Vegas 51's.
We'll have the I-80 showdown when the Sacramento River Cats come to town. In these dark economic times, taking the family to a Reno Aces game is still affordable. So take the kids; or grab some buddies and head to the ballpark on a summer evening and swap some beers. Hit the casinos and restaurants of wonderful downtown Reno after the game. The Reno Aces and real baseball have finally come to downtown. Now play ball!
