I kind of like the idea. First of all, it's clear that Rosenblatt is simply getting old. The atmosphere is only there during the CWS, and a move downtown with only 9,000 seats to fill would create a much better atmosphere for a night at the ballpark. It would be like moving the Mav hockey team back to the Civic...better enviroment means more fans means more money. Also, a ballpark downtown? How cool would that be? When I go to a game, I like to have a dog and a beer or two. Then it's time to get back in the car to go home or try to find some parking downtown when it's already crowded. With the new park, you would already be downtown. Go to the bars - make a night of it. Seriously... how cool would that be? Additionally, money always goes farther when it is a new investment. Remodeling jobs are over priced, and this one in particular is slated for about 25 mil. A brand new ballpark would cost slightly over twice that amount - but you would get a better facility that is more economical, and has the potential to bring in more money. Do it Fahey. Bring me some baseball downtown! And then a trolley to take me home... Also a baseball fan… I kind of like the idea. First of all, it’s clear that Rosenblatt is simply getting old.
