The Reno City Council approved a deal to bring the Arizona Side Winders to downtown Reno. SK Partners will be building a first class stadium on land that has, until now, been ignored and abandoned. Downtown Reno will finally have a direction to build on. With all the shops, movie theaters, restaurants and White Water Park that have taken place as part of the Truckee River restoration the new baseball team will be the icing on the cake.
Reno Real Estate in downtown will never be the same, with 5 condo projects currently under way in downtown Reno the gentrification of that area has had a huge kick start.
The cost of the project will be paid from a tax on rental cars in Reno and any over runs will be paid by the developer, SK Partners who has already spent 15 million dollars to acquire the team. Reno baseball fans will be able to watch players that will potentially be one step away from the major leagues and marquee players that are on rehabilitation. In baseball lingo this will be a grand slam for the downtown corridor.
