Each GBL team has a hotel that sponsors the team. The teams and hotels work out trade deals so that opposing teams get discounted rates to stay at the hotel, and the hotel gets a lot of advertising at the ballpark. Chico's partner hotel: Feather Falls Casino & Hotel.
Not only is the hotel a minimum 30 minute drive from Nettleton Stadium, where the games in Chico are played, but there is a 24-hour non-stop party going down in the casino, which is directly adjacent to the hotel.
I'm not saying Armada fans should expect a let down in the next two games. The way the bats are booming and with Currier and Jerome Williams on the mound in games 2 and 3 of this series, LB will be tough to take down. That being said, the majority of players in this league are younger guys - typically in their mid 20s or so - and if there is fun to be had, they'll have it. Period.
But as the season goes on, and the Outlaws get their first win (they are currently 0-5 after Friday night's home-opening beat down), keep an eye on their home record. Not only do I think they'll have one of the best home records in the GBL, I think you could bet on it.
