"The Casper Rockies are excited for another season of professional baseball here in Casper. The community support has been great in our first three seasons and I expect that to continue to grow. The support last year was overwhelming as evidenced by our record setting crowd of over 3,000 in attendance at last season's final home game!" stated Mary Schmidt, the second year General Manager and President of the club. "We can't wait to build on the excitement of last year that included our first ever post game fireworks spectacular and our first ever âBark in the Park' which involved man's best friend being able to attend a game. We actually ended up having 3 fireworks shows due to the overwhelming support from our fans. We will do everything within our means to continue to make a Casper Rockies game great family entertainment for everyone!"
