Loco from the Altoona Curve ambushes the Studio 814 set, surprising hosts Rebecca Petner and Morgan Koziar.

ALTOONA, Pa. (WTAJ)– The weather won’t stop some of the biggest fans from heading to PNG Field as opening day approaches for the Altoona Curve.

Homeruns, strikeouts, a 7th inning stretch, and of course the Curve Burgers.

The allure of the game draws thousands of fans to the stadium each year, offering a little bit of something for everyone. It’s “safe” to say after a long offseason, fans are glad baseball is back, and to be cheering on the team they love.
