After a delay of just over a year caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wichita Wind Surge baseball team will finally play its first game in the new Riverfront Stadium. The Wind Surge will begin a series with Amarillo at 7:05 p.m. There will be some special activities for the home opener, including a tribute to the team’s late owner, Lou Schwechheimer. A portrait of Schwechheimer was unveiled at the stadium on Monday, and it was commissioned by Emprise Bank and painted by local artist John Oehm. The team’s senior vice president and general manager, Jared Forma, told KFDI News that the team is excited to begin play in Wichita. The team opened its season with a series at Springfield, Missouri, winning five out of six games.
