Re: DISCUSSION: Werner Park - Sarpy County/Royals Stadium

They just added a smaller 2nd team store this year down 3rd base line, now expanding the original (and will house Sarpy County tourism) and adding more hospitality space behind home plate: https://www.milb.com/omaha/news/chasers-partner-with-sarpy-county-tourism-for-expansions-at-werner-park/c-29419...

Good to know about the Centris Fun Zone. My kids always want to go in there, but I don't feel like paying $5-7 each to go down a slide and ride a carousel. Unfortunately you can't signup at the game, but you can signup for an account online and they send you a debit card in a few days.... Now watch...

When it comes to attendance I wonder how the prom's impact this. The Chasers do not do nearly as much in the way of free or discounted tickets as they did when they were at the much larger Blatt.
