More than 6,500 fans attended the Syracuse Chiefs’ opening day, a 4-1 loss to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Some found it inspiring, with the stadium dressed up in bunting and, hey, baseball back in town. Others — notably members of the Simone family, the team’s former management — found it … uninspiring. Members of the family registered complaints on social media about a range of issues, including the movement of a bust of Tex Simone, a long-time Chiefs executive, from the walkway in the stands (above) to the Hank Sauer room, at the end of the first-base line.
New Times photographer Michael Davis was on hand to capture the days events. See his photos below:
