I'm just wondering what they'll be able to do with a billion dollars. h3ll the marlins carnival field was 600 milliion and it had all sorts of bells and whistles.

I have never understood how the taxpayers foot half the bill, but own NOTHING in the end. not the property, not the loyalty of the franchise or anything. They say a new stadium will insure that they're there for 37 more years. I don't understand how they can say this when the current facility is only 22 years old and not good enough to guarantee the team presence in Arlington after 3 more years.

I think the main concern is getting it covered. do that and you've got a semi permanent foothold. an all weather facility will boost everything. More mid summer fans, more players will actually want to come to texas. they are a class organization and this was the lone setback of going there. that and if you're a pitcher it's a hitters ballpark, but we'd never give that part of it up. AL ballpark=offense rules.

Heard it said that it would cost more to do that. And of course all of the stuff that they're adding to the baseball facility wouldn't be built if they didn't build a new stadium. Kinda makes you wonder how they survived in the old Arlington Stadium.
