Thats actually a pretty cool name Aaron (I can even picture jerseys that would be awesome lol) This stadium might be an opportunity for Nevada to be recognized for something more than just gambling and prostitution. I think it's a great idea and is certainly better than building yet another casino or more rows of over crowded apartments.

Wow the Blackjacks, huh. That's original. I mean it certainly wouldn't remind anybody of the unsuccessful team the town had before. Did you rack your brain on that one? Why not capitalize on the Reno/Tahoe concept and go with the Tahoe Blue Jays, King Fishers, or Macs?

I guess I know which three people will be going to the games. Is this the fourth or fifth semi-pro ball team they've tried to bring to Reno? I wonder if the mayor and city council have heard the definition of crazy: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

We probably don't need another casino and if the apartments are overcrowded, it just shows we need more reasonable cost housing for people who live here.

redhead, re-read your def of crazy. Notice where it says "same thing over and over"?
Now try to remember Reno ever building a legit AAA park. Oh! That's new. Duh!
Now, try not to be such a wet blanket.

And what is this "probably don't need another casino" crap. To be totally honest we don't need the ones we already have. The whole gambling scene, and all the sleaze that goes with it, is a blight!

Hey airbrain, yeah, like another ballpark is going to make more people come to the games. Even if you build it, they won't come. Reno's already shown, over and over, that very few people are interested in a semi-pro team. Certainly not enough to justify the cost. Sorry to be a wet blanket (usually the person with the common sense) but Reno will be spending major bucks to build a white elephant when we could be using the money for something better, like, I don't know, improving schools.
