LV Aviators and the new stadium opens

The best minor league stadium in the USA.

When players go from Vegas back to Oakland the dressing rooms and facilities are smaller

We went last night. The ballpark is awesome. I have never seen a minor league park that even comes close to it. It's too bad 40+ MPH winds killed the evening. We left in the 3rd. It just wasn't fun, and I didn't want to torture our kid.

 

I have to go to see it. I love minor league baseball. You can get right next to the play. I looked at buying tickets online and there's not a lot available, which surprised me.

 

Jen and I had tix for the Brewers when we were in Milwaukee. We love going to games. On a nice, warm day, baseball is very calming to me. Jen's never been to a minor league game. I am very hopeful she'll enjoy the more relaxed nature of minor league ball.

It was definitely packed last night. We went in on season tix with my parents and brother. We're almost right behind the dish (sec. 111, row 18, seats 18-20 - first base side aisle). I am really happy with the location of the seats. It's too bad the wind went nuts.

 

Going to a game next week. First one I've been too. $2 beer night! Too bad I don't drink!

 

Fun! Great stadium. Not a bad seat in the house. The seats are really comfortable and a kind of mesh so it breathes well. Aviators fell behind by 8 runs and came back to win 11-10 in the bottom of the ninth.

Good crowd on $2 beer night. Everyone had a great time.

so is this a play to get an MLB franchise eventually?

 

Difficult I think. Unless someone that MLB didn't mind moving moved. Miami is now looking at sharing home field with Montreal, which is really weird. The Vegas AAA team is out drawing the Marlins attendance if you can believe that. Vegas has the biggest drawing AAA team in baseball.

Right now the push is to get Major League Soccer. Two groups are working on a deal now. The question is where is the stadium. Raider stadium is a possibility but I think unlikely.

I think the NBA would like Vegas as a team but expansion is out of the question.

It was over 100 yesterday but by game time it wasn't bad at all. I never felt uncomfortable.
