After two years in the making, Riverfront Stadium saw its first action in downtown Wichita on Saturday.
Wichita State won the inaugural game at the new downtown stadium, defeating Houston 10-1. The victory extended WSU’s winning streak to six games, with all six wins coming over the Cougars.
Head Coach Eric Wedge said that it was special for the Shockers to be a part of the first game at the new stadium.
“It was a privilege, an honor to have an opportunity to be a part of this,” Wedge said. “I just love the fans of Wichita and the fact that they showed up today and had a great time for all nine innings.
