@VOG,
The Hammerheads would leave Legion but can not because..
1.The pitchers mound would have to be shaves down,rebuilt after each game.
This takes alot of time,as well as costs.
The dimensions of Legion for Soccer,is better for spectators than a vaseball stadium with odd angles.
2.Costs---the Hammerheads pay ONLY $850.00 per game to use Legion,the Field Turf cost $800,000 and the primary reason,aside of mound is that cost structure would drastically change.
3.Multi-use---there 70 baseball games singla-A, and some UNCW/HIGH school games.
Every other day is a chance to handle a concert,special event,company pic-nics,job-fairs,events like "relay for life,'MS wallks",azalea concerts,Christmas Tree Fests,Beer fests..and it will be the "magnet" and "focal" point for downtown.
Mandalay are professionals,in their 6 other mino-league teams they do the same thing 365/7
So,all we can do is look at past history,successes
Why not leave Region
