Reno Aces

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Group One Realty

I just came from the last Reno Aces game of the season. For those who are not aware, this was the inaugural season for AAA baseball in the Reno area. Not only did they build a beautiful park, but the team actually ended the year with a winning record!!

Aces Ballpark Last Game 2009

Truthfully, that part probably did not matter much, it has been a pleasure to sit in my season ticket seats through out the season. Nothing better than baseball on a nice Northern Nevada evening. But the ballpark and the excitement it has created in downtown Reno, has really brought hope to a very gloomy year here in the area. Unemployment, The Housing Market and the terrible economy, have been hard hit in the area, a little bit of nostalgia, and some very good baseball, where just what the doctor ordered, to bring life and more importantly, something good to talk about around the water cooler. Boy, I can't wait til next spring!!

Bobbi ~ What great seats you have there! Well I guess any seat is a good seat the the new Reno Aces Baseball Stadium! You are correct in saying the ball club definitely brought a lot of enthusiasm and excitement to the Reno area. I have heard nothing but positive feedback about this new stadium! I am already looking forward to next season!

Bobbi,  We have a really nice baseball stadium in downtown Greenville, SC that has condos out just beyond left field where the residents can sit on a community balcony and watch the games.   It's really something!!

Yvette and Dennis,

Your situation in Greenville sounds wonderful, particularly for the condo residents!! The ballpark here is in a very run down commercial area, but the folks who own the ballpark are breaking ground this week on the next phase which is retail shops and restaurants. Should do even more to revitilize downtown Reno!

Terrie, my seats are great, but I don't think there is a bad seat at Aces ballpark! Even better the folks with season tickets around me are fantastic.....will miss them this winter as much as the games!

Thank you Susie,

 

Judi, I thought you had a great idea calling for something positive...too much negativity out there we tend to focus on.

 

Chris, I had a great day at the park. I will miss it for the winter!
