A group of Roswell Invaders loyal s
A group of Roswell Invaders loyal supporters have begun to make their push for the Invaders to move into NMMI for the 2012 season and beyond.
The group claims NMMI is located in the heart of Roswell and has a much better facility than Coca Cola Park. The surface the lighting and the location are far better at NMMI than at Coca Cola Field.
The Pecos League previously met with NMMI in 2010 before agreeing to occupy Coca Cola Park.
The New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) is the nation"s only state-supported, co-educational college preparatory 4-year military high school and junior college.
The Roswell Invaders won the inaugural Pecos League Championship and have a strong fan base.
Coca Cola Park was home to the original minor league teams in the 1960"s that occupied Roswell.
Coca Cola Park offers one of the best club houses in the Pecos League and great parking.
However, Roswell does not have a municipal license at the park and
the lease at Coca Cola Park is four times higher than any other lease in the Pecos League"s New Mexico/Colorado Teams.
A decision will be made in January it will be interesting to see how NMMI would handle beer sales but it is possible as NMMI is in process of possibly selling beer at the golf course when class is out of session.
The Roswell Invaders won the Pecos
The Roswell Invaders won the Pecos League Championship in their inaugural season but they are probably more famous for their uniforms. Now the Roswell Invaders will sell their team merchandise at the world famous UFO Museum Gift Shop. The Museum will boost Invaders Merchandise sales even more they will begin selling Merchandise November 8th. It finally gives fans a local place to buy their Invaders gear. The Pecos League has had a huge request of where fans can get gear locally. The Invaders had offers from many retailers in town to sell their amazingly bright gear with R Hats and Alien Baseballs. The UFO Museum is one of the top five tourist destinations in the state of New Mexico and will be a great fit for merchandise sales. The Operators of the Museum and the Gift Shop are both Invaders Fans.

Roswell Invaders Uniforms are out of this world. When the Roswell Invaders team was announced in August 2010 the team colors were originally Black and Royal Blue a very modern traditional baseball look. The local Roswell Community quickly informed the leaders of the Invaders there needed to be a change. The unofficial/official colors of Roswell were lime green and navy due to Roswell being the UFO Capital of the world. So with the exception of the Seattle Sounders MLS Team and the Sacramento Surge of the World League of American Football the Invaders will be the only team to take the field wearing lime green. The Roswell Invaders will don Navy Jerseys with Lime Green Pants and Pin Stripe Pants Grey with Navy Pins. The Invaders will also don Lime Green Jerseys with White Pants. And possibly once during the season the Invaders will go Lime on Lime...The Invaders will wear Navy Hats.
