Night baseball lights win approval in Bell Park clash
Las Vegas city commissioners approved night games at the Bell Park baseball diamond run by the First Christian Church with lights to be turned off at 10 p.m. and no Sunday games. Construction engineer Dick Berg and three women opposed the plan citing noise and light near his home, but church leaders and many parents argued the program supports local youth baseball and travel from the Nevada Test Site.
