History
At the end of the 2007 season of the Mexican Baseball League, work began to make efforts to have a professional baseball team return to Nuevo Laredo. After several visits by personnel of the league to the new stadium they agreed to bring back a baseball team and in November 2007 it was announced that the Rieleros de Aguascalientes would become the Tecolotes de Nuevo Laredo for the 2008 season. The stadium is considered one of the best in the league. The field is made from synthetic grass, becoming the third of its kind in the league. Because it was recently constructed, the surface of Estadio Nuevo Laredo is more sophisticated and more similar to natural grass than the two other fields in the Mexican League. It is planned to construct a giant screen and a ceiling covering the seating area.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
