Is a baseball stadium going to be part of the convention center hotel complex that the Dallas City Council cannot wait to build downtown? The DBJ found evidence in city records that a 5,000- to 12,000-seat stadium is being proposed. Unfortunately, the city has imposed a gag order on any developer who's making a bid -- God forbid any of us know what's going on -- so "details are sketchy," as the DBJ puts it. Why stop at a ballpark? How about a Disney World, an Eiffel Tower, an African jungle, a Las Vegas recreation, or a Noah's Ark? I mean, where's the vision here.

What is wrong with adding a ballpark? Minor league baseball stadiums add value to most downtown areas. Plus, we all know it would be more fun and affordable to watch a team in downtown Dallas, than it is to drive to Arlington.
Of course, I have one near me in Frisco I have yet to go to. So maybe I am a hypocrite.

Any word on what team will be playing in said ballpark? Perhaps the United League will finally get their wish?
Southern Independent Baseball had their intentions, too. Doubtful the American Association will have anything to do with it since they just added the Grand Prairie AirHogs.
Back to work for Doyle! Info on who's developing interest would be appreciated.

Man I wish it was the American Association. A downtown ballpark (especially on the South Side :-) would be sweet either way.
