Posted 9 AM Thursday - Dave Longley - It looks like Mother Nature will give a present to the Chiefs today, with plenty of sunshine for the start of the new baseball season.  The new grass field sure looks great, in spite of the delay in the arrival of warm weather.  Actually, they couldn't expect to do much better than low 50s for the 3rd day of April.  The normal high for this time of year is 51. 

Today's game is the first of an 8-game homestand that continues through next Thursday.  We may have some rain problems tomorrow, but things will be warming up and drying out over the weekend. 

One thing I looked up today was the UV Index.  It's forecast to be at 5, which means if you're particularly sensitive to the sun, and you plan on sitting in the sunny sections of the park, it'd be a good idea to put on some sun block.  You know, the sun is as strong now as it is on Labor Day, so just a word of precaution there.
