Mike, I love where you put your watermark in the second photo!!! You got some inexpensive ad space in the batter's eye!

Are they lighting 500CM at night yet? If so, what do you guys think about it?

A year or two ago my first reaction would have been "Great pics, Mike!"

Today my first reaction is "So many empty seats!"

And after that, "Great pics, Mike!"

Yes

I like it, but it's not spectacular. Hopefully they keep it lit.

I still say Sacramento would have one of the most stunning night skylines in California (with exception to our limited height) were all the buildings with ornamental lighting illuminated at night.

I was at last Sunday's game against the Las Vegas 51's and they announced
just over 5,500 were at the game, less than half the average of two years ago

Even with those empty seats, Sactown still looks sexy. I can't wait to visit home in two weeks.

I was at last Sunday's game as well as the prior Friday night game. They announced over 12k at the Friday game.

Strange... I would expect as many people to show up on Sunday as on a Friday.

I tried to go to a game last Friday. We got there about 15 minutes before the game started and the line to get tickets was unbelievably long and slow moving. After waiting 30 minutes in line we left and barely moving up in the line, we cut our losses and left.

I was doing some research out at the Center for Sacramento History and came
across a couple neat photos of Arco Arena under construction taken on February 29, 1988.
