It's the day we've been waiting for since the day we all discovered there's a real place called "Gwinnett:" time for the Home Opener here at our own little Magic Kingdom of Boulevard, The Diamond. All 9,560 seats in the park (yes, that's fewer than there used to be) are long sold and spoken for. The forecast is clear and warm, with maybe just a touch of chilly April air as the evening goes on, so, perfect.

If today's game will be the first Flying Squirrels game you'll catch, you've already missed a lot. Reassurances from John Murden that our 1-6 team isn't coming home just to lay stink bombs on us; they're actually looking quite good so far. - Flying Squirrels Guide - Richmond.com
Colleen Curran has your comprehensive list of fireworks dates, so you can either be at the Diamond if you're a fireworks afficionado or make a note not to call Civil Defense if you hear lots of explosions in the evening hours on those days. The R.com staff also got a sneak peek at the freshened Diamond with Flying Squirrels broadcaster John Laaser back in March, and posted the video. - The always handy Richmond Good Life has their comprehensive 2010 Flying Squirrels Guide up and rolling for your reference.
- and the Science Museum of Virginia has come to bat with a post about actual, real live flying squirrels.
Gates open at 4:30, game starts at 7:05. Hope everyone can make it, and here's hoping tonight'll be an excellent opener. Go Squirrels!
