Simon, a first-generation American and son of a tailor, is charming and charismatic, his one-liners sure to delight his audience. Other than Indianapolis, where he lives, Simon has as much invested into Reno as any other city he owns property in.

He's a big fan of the Biggest Little City. But will it have a Triple-A baseball team five years down the road? That's where things get a little murky. Simon and his partners, Stuart and Jerry Katzoff, were promised certain "inducements," as he calls them, when they moved the Arizona Diamondbacks' Triple-A team from Tucson to Reno in and helped revitalize downtown with a band-new 9,capacity stadium.

Those inducements haven't come. The Aces refused to pay their property tax, arguing the land is assessed incorrectly, that they lease the land rather than own it and it's not a day-use facility. It's enough to make a simple-minded sports guy like myself dizzy. I just want to know if the Aces are staying long term.

Getting that answer is complicated. But that deal must be reapproved each year, a unique setup that could lead to issues every year. Throw in the fact new Reno mayor Hillary Schieve isn't as keen on using public money on baseball as her predecessor, Bob Cashell, and the issues are far from solved. Then, it's an issue. Then all the gate receipts went into a bucket, and at the end of the season the players split the gate receipts. Since , the Reno Aces have played in a stadium with a capacity of more than 9, and no chickens or turkeys in sight.
