UNLV and UNR may have a longstanding rivalry in regards to collegiate sports, but how about when it comes to triple-A baseball? You betcha.
As a result, when the Las Vegas 51s host the Reno Aces on Thursday, June 16 at Cashman Field, the two schools are holding a friendly contest to see which university can draw the most fans to the ballgame.
Although the annual event is open to anyone who is a friend or alumni of UNLV or UNR, the event is officially dubbed “UNLV Alumni Night at the Ballpark.”
Marking the fourth year of the competition, UNLV has been victorious the past three years and hopes to continue its undefeated streak of drawing the most fans to the game.
