Here is a fans’ guide to the 51s

Last year’s sewage problem behind it, Cashman Field looks freshly groomed and ready for baseball.

Here are some things to know about the 51s and the fan experience before the season begins today against the Fresno Grizzlies:

Tickets

Tickets are available online, at the box office and at select Smith’s Food & Drug at Ticketmaster outlets.

Fans can choose from options ranging from single-game tickets to season-ticket packages.

Individual single-game prices start at $11 in advance and a dollar more for same-day seats.

The club also offers 11-game, 22-game and 36-game packages.

Promos

The 51s have promotions nearly every day, starting with Dollar Beer Night on Thursday.

Budweiser Dollar Beer Night on Thursday is a Cashman Field staple. On Fridays, it’s fireworks night at the ballpark. Mondays are Smith’s Value Menu Monday with basic ballpark food — hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, cracker jacks and pretzels — for $1.

Some other special promotions include 51s wearable player blanket night on Saturday, Wally Backman 1986 jersey night on May 28 and 51s pint glasses night on July 9.

If you go

Parking at the stadium is $5. Fans can bring bottled water into the stadium, and all bags will be subject to a search.

The stadium is accessible via the 113 CAT bus. A single rider one-way ticket is $2.

The stadium is located near the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park and the Neon Museum.

It is around two miles away from Fremont Street, but walking is not advisable.

The 51s offer typical ballpark food such as hot dogs, popcorn, hamburgers, peanuts, cracker jacks and pretzels.

On the club level, fans can find a wider array of food options.

Paul Sewald

Sewald, 25, is one of two Las Vegas Valley players on the roster. The other is reliever Chasen Bradford.

Sewald, in his first year in Triple A, will start the season as the team’s closer. He was 3-0 with a 1.75 ERA and 24 saves in 51.1 innings last season at Double-A Binghamton, and the Bishop Gorman High graduate is quickly rising through the Mets’ system.

“This kid wasn’t a real high pick, but he’s really moved up the ladder real fast,” manager Wally Backman said. “Probably not as fast as he wants, but I don’t think it’s going to shock me if this kid ends up in the big leagues before long. And I don’t think it would even shock him because his blood’s pretty cold.”

Gavin Cecchini

Cecchini, the 12th overall pick in the 2012 MLB draft, is the highest prospect to debut at Triple-A Las Vegas this season, ranking fourth on Baseball America’s list.

The shortstop hit .317/.377/.442 at Double-A Binghamton last season with 139 hits in 109 games and probably will hit near the top of the order.

In his second big league camp, Cecchini, 22, spent time picking the minds of players such as David Wright and Curtis Granderson about their approaches.

“The way that they have their routines and they go about their business, it was eye opening,” Cecchini said. “It helps me and any player that is trying to be at that level.”

Brandon Nimmo

Nimmo, the other first-round pick of the bunch, also begins the season in Las Vegas after playing 32 games with the 51s last season.

Nimmo, a center fielder and the fifth-ranked prospect in the system, was hampered by a partially torn tendon in his foot this offseason and had his spring training reduced. He spent time this offseason simplifying his swing.

“Hitting, fielding, first-step quickness, running strength, it all needs to be improved, and it’ll continue to need to be improved even until I get to the big leagues and even after,” said Nimmo, 23.
