The Reno Aces today set home plate in its resting spot within the infield and announced prices for their individual-game tickets.
The setting of home plate was a part of the last few remaining pieces of the final days of construction at Aces Stadium. The ballpark is set to host its first baseball game on April 17 when the Aces take on the Salt Lake Bees.
"We've been working six days a week since the beginning of the project and believe it or not, it won't take around the clock (to finish it)," said Stuart Katzoff, managing partner of SK Baseball, who owns the first-year Triple-A franchise. "We've come far enough along that there will be finish touches that we'll be doing right up till opening day, but the major important and majority of the things are done now."
The infield is already filled with red clay and sand was put down in what will be the outfield and grassed infield areas. The last few lights were installed Monday by a helicopter.
Individual game tickets will range from $7 for general admission to $29 for home plate premium seating.
