PLAY BALL! The Mid-West League has the 2017 season rollin'. It's a chance for baseball fans to see tomorrows MLB superstars today.

I was at the Quad City River Bandits Opening Night game last night (which the Bandits won)and I have to say...the future of Major League Baseball looks good.

According to WQAD.com, this season, there are a few improvements and additions to Modern Woodman Park. First, there is netting around the general admission seats and bleacher section protecting fans. There has also been expansion to the store and box office. There is also a new popcorn stand and BBQ stand.Also, expect more firework displays and pyro.
