This has been tried twice before with failure. Set the team up in Legion Stadium, sell beer, hot dogs, peanuts and soda. If the team can maintain popularity for 2 years and keep from being sold out to an out of town interest, consider building a new stadium for them. With the past record of baseball in this town, it would be assinine to spend the money on a stadium that will likely sit with the gates locked, no team on the field and no spectators in the bleachers.
I love baseball, but it has to work with OUR area and be popular with our people, otherwise...we will simply have another dead cow to clean up and bury.
The LAST thing the people need right now is ANOTHER mindless tax burden to bear!
Make it work before you build a new park!
