Isotopes vs. Space Cowboys

Triple-A ball under the Sandia sunset, with the Isotopes taking on Sugar Land in what is reliably one of the better mid-summer crowds of the home schedule. Isotopes Park sits right on Central, and the upper deck on the third-base side catches the last of the light in a way that makes the $15 ticket feel like a bargain even when the bullpen doesn’t cooperate. Parking off Avenida Cesar Chavez fills faster than people expect for a Sunday game, so the lot on University is worth the extra block.
