Sometimes, you just have to wait your turn.

When the Rocket City Trash Pandas play their first home game at Toyota Field on April 15, it won’t be the first baseball game at the new stadium at Town Madison. In fact, there will be seven games played there before Double-A minor league team of the Los Angeles Angels arrive.

The Trash Pandas announced Tuesday that a lineup of four college baseball games and three high school baseball games will take place at the stadium to break in the new building. The use of the stadium for the high school and college games is a reflection of a strategy by the Trash Pandas and the city of Madison for the stadium to be in use beyond games for its primary tenant.

The team also set April 6 for the formal ribbon cutting of Toyota Field.

“One cannot imagine how thrilled our organization is for this day,” Trash Pandas President and CEO Ralph Nelson said in the announcement. “This isn’t just a day of pride for the Trash Pandas organization, but it’s also a celebration for the city of Madison, Mayor Paul Finley, the city council, and, most of all, our fans.

“Toyota Field is the best stadium in Minor League Baseball and we can’t wait for our fans to see it.”

The first game at Toyota Field is scheduled for March 20 when the University of Alabama in Huntsville plays Montevallo in the first of a three-game series. A doubleheader between the teams will be the next day.

On March 22, Alabama A&M will face rival Alabama State.

Tickets to the college games are $5 and parking is $3.

On March 28, Grissom High School will play Decatur High.

The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place between games of a high school doubleheader. Bob Jones will play Hartselle at 4 p.m. Then James Clemens will play Austin High in the first game after the ribbon cutting.

Tickets to the high school games are $6 and parking is $3.

The Trash Pandas begin their season on April 9 at Region Field in Birmingham against the Barons.
