Ticket sales are at a record pace for opening night for the St Joe Mustangs tonight at Phil Welch Stadium  Chief Operating Officer Rick Muntean and his organization are busy preparing the stadium after bad weather yesterday, but he says all signs point to a great night for baseball

The Mustangs take on UMB bank at 7 p.m.  The gates open at 5:30.  There will be some special presentations before the game.

Muntean tells us ticket sales have been “absolutely spectacular,” and he’s expecting one of the largest opening night crowds ever tonight.  They’ve sold about three times the number of tickets than their original opening night, and about double last years opening night sales.

He says by noon today, there were only about twenty box seats available.

“There are plenty of general admission tickets available, and that “if you come out to the ballpark, you will get in, andyou will get to see the game” Muntean said.
