On this hot Sunday evening game in Las Vegas, it was a sedate crowd at the Aviators minor league ballpark in suburban Summerlin 12 miles west of the Strip.

The Las Vegas Aviators defeated the Sacramento River Cats, 6-3, thanks to a five-run rally in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Lucky for Texas-based Howard Hughes Corp. that the LVCVA tourism agency was in a giving mood and authorized a stunning $80 million for Howard Hughes in the form of a naming rights deal. Thus, the ballyard in Downtown Summerlin is “Las Vegas Ballpark.”
