Nevada
A Weekend at Greater Nevada Field
Opened in 2009, Greater Nevada Field in Reno, Nevada has been where the Dismondbacks AAA affiliate the Reno Aces have played since their inception. Having had family living there since 2016, you’d think I’d have made the trip out to visit before now, but this is the first time I’ve been able to actually visit. I was just barely able to make it but I did manage to go to two games over this past weekend, a night game on Saturday July 27th, and a day game on Sunday July 28th. The Aces lost both games, but that’s not important at all in the context of this article.
This is a gorgeous ballpark, with excellent sight lines from every seat in the ballpark. The majority of the outfield is bordered by a catwalk, giving fans an excellent chance at catching a homerun ball. If it wasn’t such a large outfield, I’d say that Greater Nevada Field probably gives you a better chance at catching a homerun ball than any other AAA or MLB level park. The wind is almost constantly blowing out, which does a lot to explain the offense friendly environment more than just “high altitude ballpark” does.
The ballpark is very family friendly with a playground for kids (below), multiple contests every game, and various theme nights. The game on Saturday, for example, was Star Wars night. The ballpark is very accessible to public transport, near lots of clubs, bars, and restaurants, so it makes it very easy to go out and have a night on the town while still being able to catch a ballgame.

Despite all those positives on top of having one of the best atmospheres in Minor League baseball, there are a few downsides. The food, while being above average and sourced from family owned local companies is overpriced. If you’re planning on having alcohol at the ballpark, be prepared to spend 100+ on drinks for two people. (I did not drink at all while visiting the stadium, but my family did, and they all commented on how expensive it was.)
The only other real downside was that it was very warm during the day game, with most of the seats in the ballpark in the sun. If you’re catching a day game, I’d recommend bringing a hat, sunglasses, and wearing sunscreen.
Overall I’d give it a very positive rating, a solid 4.5 stars out of 5. Reno is definitely worth the visit to come and see the Aces play. There is so much going on in Reno activity wise, that I think there’s something for everyone to do, and would highly recommend a trip to those who can afford it.

The Retail Association of Nevada is applauding Nevada’s legislative leaders for their swift, bipartisan action in passing emergency legislation, Assembly Bill 171, which helped stabilize Nevada’s egg market and deliver meaningful relief to consumers, lowering prices by more than 30 percent, according to a new report from the Nevada Department of Agriculture.
“Governor Lombardo, Speaker Yeager, Majority Leader Cannizzaro, and Minority Leaders Titus and Hafen didn’t just act — they delivered for Nevadans,” said Bryan Wachter, Senior Vice President of the Retail Association of Nevada. “In a matter of weeks, we went from $10 eggs and empty shelves to stabilized prices and stocked stores. This is what bold, effective leadership looks like when government truly works for the people.”
Assembly Bill 171, signed into law on Feb. 13, granted the State Quarantine Officer the authority to temporarily suspend Nevada’s cage-free egg mandate for up to 120 days in response to a USDA-declared animal disease emergency or federally declared disaster. At the height of the disruption, egg prices exceeded $10 per dozen, and grocery stores imposed strict purchase limits. Within two months of enactment, prices dropped more than 30 percent, offering significant relief to consumers.
“AB171 is a strategic tool for Nevada’s agricultural and retail sectors,” Wachter added. “It ensures that when crises arise, our state leaders have the flexibility to act quickly and keep essential goods like eggs on store shelves.”
Gov. Joe Lombardo, Speaker Steve Yeager, Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, Senate Minority Leader Robin Titus, and Assembly Minority Leader Gregory Hafen worked together to unanimously pass AB171 in the early days of the legislative session, demonstrating a shared commitment to protecting consumers and stabilizing essential food supply chains.

Nevada lawmakers signaled they will continue funding K-12 teacher raises in the next two-year budget cycle, but charter school staff could be left out of future increases, sparking threats of a gubernatorial veto.
A panel of state Senate and Assembly legislators recommended about $250 million in spending to fund pay raises in the state’s school districts that were first approved in the Legislature last session but did not follow a recommendation from Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo to allocate $38 million to extend the raises to charter school staff, who were not included previously.
Legislative leadership left the door open for charter school teacher raises. Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, D-Las Vegas, said before the recommendation vote on Wednesday that the subject was not closed.
“While I recognize that today is not the day that we’ll be talking about charter school raises,” Cannizzaro said, “I do think that conversation should continue for the remainder of this session, so that we can come to a good resolution on that that makes sense.”
Five Republicans on the subcommittee that budgets education funding voted against the recommendation.
“Charter schools are public schools. These teachers are public teachers,” state Sen. Carrie Buck, R-Henderson, said before the panel voted. “They deserve raises, also.”
In a Thursday statement, Lombardo expressed his frustration toward the subcommittee’s exclusion of charter schoolteacher raises.
“I’ve been clear and consistent on this,” Lombardo said. “I will not sign an education budget that does not include equal pay for public charter school teachers and make teacher pay raises, including those for charter school teachers, permanent. Further, I will veto any education budget bill that falls short of addressing a serious need for accountability, transparency and real parental choice. All 63 legislators have been aware of my position for months, and it is my expectation that they will pass a bill that improves education for all Nevada children.”
Lower-than-anticipated revenues to the state as tourism weakens in an uncertain economy have put a damper on budget meetings in Carson City. May 2025 projections of the revenue for the State Education Fund show $161 million less than what was projected in January, forcing lawmakers to weigh which programs they want to expand and which may remain at status quo.
In the Wednesday meeting, legislators recommended transferring $126.9 million from the Education Stabilization Account — an education rainy-day fund — to the Pupil-Centered Funding Plan account for 2025 fiscal year to cover revenue lost from the impacts of decreased tourism.
On Thursday, the education budget subcommittee voted to recommend transferring $115.7 million from the Education Stabilization Account to the Pupil-Centered Funding Plan for the 2025-2027 biennium.
The committee also affirmed the governor’s recommended budget for per-pupil funding of $9,416 for fiscal year 2026, a $2 increase from the current fiscal year, and $9,486 for fiscal year 2027.
The Legislature has less than 30 days until the session adjourns. Lawmakers typically spend the last week of session voting on the state budget bills, including education funding. Nevada’s Constitution requires education to be funded first.
