Smoke from the nearby forest fires has postponed Sunday’s Reno Aces Military Appreciation Night.
According to the Aces and the Vietnam Veterans Association Sierra Nevada Chapter 989 in Reno, the Military Appreciation Night has been rescheduled to a Sunday night game, Sept. 5 at 6:30 p.m.
The Reno Aces games against the Sacramento River Cats on Friday, Saturday and Sunday have been relocated to Sacramento due to ongoing and pervasive air quality in the area. According to the Aces, the decision comes after consulting with Major League Baseball and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
“While we are disappointed to not be able to entertain our fans this weekend, we wholly support this move to prevent a third consecutive home series from being played under smoke filled conditions,” said Aces president Eric Edelstein. “More importantly, we want to express our heartfelt sympathies to those affected by nearby wildfires and gratitude to those working to extinguish them.”
Fans with tickets to this weekend’s games will be contacted beginning on Friday morning. The ticket office at Greater Nevada Field will open at 10 a.m. Friday for fans with questions.
Friday and Saturday’s games will start at 6:05 p.m., with Sunday’s beginning at 1:05 p.m. The games will be closed to the public and only available on the radio at KPLY 630 AM or RenoAces.com with Zack Bayrouty calling the action.
