Toyota Field Ribbon Cutting Set for April 6th

The Rocket City Trash Pandas have announced details for the ribbon-cutting for Toyota Field, taking place April 6, between games of a doubleheader featuring Madison's high school baseball teams. Festivities begin at 4 p.m.
"One cannot imagine how thrilled our organization is for this day," said Trash Pandas President and CEO Ralph Nelson. "This isn't just a day of pride for the Trash Pandas organization, but it's also a celebration for the City of Madison, Mayor Paul Finley, the City Council, and, most of all, our fans.

"Toyota Field is the best stadium in Minor League Baseball and we can't wait for our fans to see it."
The Bob Jones Patriots will host Hartselle High School at 4 p.m. in the first game of the doubleheader. The James Clemens Jets take on Austin High School in the nightcap, following the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"This schedule of baseball and festivities comprises a very special day for everyone who has been involved with the team and venue since the ground-breaking nearly two years ago," Nelson said. "Toyota Field is a testament to the hard work and support of so many people who shared a vision and a dream."
The doubleheader wraps up a series of games slated for Toyota Field before the Trash Pandas open their inaugural season April 15.
Additionally, Grissom High School will play Decatur High School on March 28 leading up to the ribbon-cutting festivities. Tickets to all games will be available on the day of the game at the Toyota Field Ticket Office.
