What a big change from the old days as Moana baseball stadium! How many days did I spend in that hot sun waiting for a good game to break out between the Reno team and whoever was in town, I will never know. But now, it's been turned over to the more exciting and captivating sport of soccer. Yes I LOVE baseball, but soccer has grabbed my attention. The immediacy of each touch and second makes it a nail biter even when it's a scoreless game.
So we were here for a UNR women's game against St. Mary. The UNR women were dominated the whole first half but were able to make the right substitutions and bring the game home 2-1. It was a good game....but it would have been better to watch at Mackay where everyone can see. These fields are better suited for the family size games where it only get's "one deep" on the sidelines. Of course the advantage here is that you are REALLY close to the action, as opposed to having the action across the track and on the field at Mackay.
As I said in my tip, the grass is pretty nice too. Parking was plentiful when I was there, but it may be horrible when the family goes down there for the youth soccer weekend games. Our daughter is on bigger fields, bigger fields that aren't as nice.
You can tell this whole space is still in a slow process of re-purposing with the empty foundations and the now oddly placed park structures all about. But the park is really coming along and we look forward to more improvements in the future! read more
