KTVN Channel 2 - Reno Tahoe News Weather, Video - SK Baseball Announces Name of New Triple A Reno Team
Member Center:
The contest is over - Reno's newest Triple A Baseball team has a new name and it's first logo.
More than 3,500 entries were submitted to SK Baseball's community-wide naming contest. The name was judged on regional relevance, family friendliness, plus how it would work with a mascot, logo and if it could be chanted.
"After receiving all the nominations, Reno Aces stood out because of its obvious association to the area and the connection it will create with the fans from the beginning," said Stuart Katzoff, managing partner of the Aces. "It has a nice ring to it."
There were more than 50 submissions for the Reno Aces.
The team is the Triple A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks and will start playing in Reno for the 2009 season.
Meanwhile, the new downtown Reno stadium, still under construction, costs $40 million and will hold 10,000 spectators.
