The City of Wichita and the Wichita Wind Surge said the team’s Tuesday home opener at Riverfront Stadium was a big success, despite the team’s loss. The Wind Surge lost Tuesday to Amarillo’s Sod Poodles in the first game of a six game series. Organizers said Wednesday that the ballgame saw nearly 8,000 people in attendance and nearly sold out the stadium. “We’re just so excited to get to do it again tonight and tomorrow,” said Katie Woods, the marketing director for the Wind Surge. Woods said the team had spent months of planning, and brought more than 400 workers in on the day of the game to ensure opening night was a success. The team tackled the coronavirus pandemic with new guidelines like masks, social distancing recommendations and even a cashless system for purchases. “That’s a big balance,” said Woods. “We really want to make sure people have a good time, but we want to keep all of our fans safe and healthy.”
