YEs, I know the 2015 season is still going on. The 2016 schedule was released and thought I would start the 2016 thread with it so that it doesn't get lost.
Here is the Home schedule

Re: 2016 Omaha Storm Chasers
August looks brutal. Only one Saturday home game and no Friday home games.

Yep, way too many April games. Hope we have a warm spring.skinzfan23 wrote:August looks brutal. Only one Saturday home game and no Friday home games.

Re: 2016 Omaha Storm Chasers
Looks like there aren't many weekend games at all in June, July or August. Like Brad mentioned, if the weather is cold, it could be a rough year for attendance. I did notice they have 3 fireworks games in a row on July 1,2,3.
Re: 2016 Omaha Storm Chasers
Some great promotions going on this week at Werner Park:

Home opener this Thursday. Chasers roster looks stacked. I can see Brian Duensing pitching his way back to MLB with the Royals.

Bring an extra jacket. Once the sun was down and the wind wasn't letting up it got a lot colder than many were prepared for. People were leaving in the third inning already. Think they said last nigh the crows was around 3600
Would expect the weather to be much the same tonight.

I'm planning on going as well. I do think it will be cold later one.

Re: 2016 Omaha Storm Chasers
Yep, it is already cold here. Look for a Storms Chaser hat and guy with a camera.
Re: 2016 Omaha Storm Chasers
We ended up not going. My oldest had baseball practice. We had people at the game texting us that they were already under blankets during the 1st inning. I will end up going a bunch in the next 2 months including Star Wars Night, Husker Night and Salute to the Royals all in may along with a few times in April.

Re: 2016 Omaha Storm Chasers
My seats from today's game:
Omaha Steak's KC Burger with Kielbasa in BBQ Sauce:
Highlights of the day... I'm standing on the first base/right field concourse and a cute girl come trotting up towards me with a big smile and asks if I wanted to hear a funny story... I get all excited and say I'd love to hear her story... She tells me she is the events manager, shows me her events calendar... I get my hopes all up... She said someone reported me... turns out wearing khakis and a Storm Chaser baseball cap made someone think I was an usher, who was drinking beer on duty... Nuts.

Re: 2016 Omaha Storm Chasers
Wowzers.. And that someone would actually take the time to report an usher drinking beer and eating a burger while on duty? I think I'd like to party with that guy ;)...Coyote wrote: Highlights of the day...

Apparently wearing dress pants and a jacket and not being on drugs and everytime I go to Walmart someone stops and asks me where something is and then realizes that I don't work there.
Re: 2016 Omaha Storm Chasers
For those of you with Cox Cable in Omaha, along with Time Warner in Lincoln and Kansas City, 6 Chasers games are going to be broadcast. I'm on a long time KC Royals yahoogroups email list, and I can verify these games get a decent amount of attention in KC. They are usually on when KC is playing a different time or traveling. There's usually a decent amount of chatter among KC based fans after the broadcast.

Re: 2016 Omaha Storm Chasers
Alex Gordon will be playing at Werner Park tomorrow and Friday. Before the announcement they had already sold 4500 tickets, with Gordon and the nice weather, the crowd should be really big. Get there early! Friday was almost sold out before the announcement so expect a hard sellout Friday night.

You were right. Last night had 7,845 for a Thursday night and I am sure that tonight will be a sell out.Brad wrote:Alex Gordon will be playing at Werner Park tomorrow and Friday.

Newcomer Bubba Starling’s three-run homer highlighted a seven-run third inning that carried Omaha to an 8-3 victory over Memphis in the opening game of a doubleheader.
