I watched the city manager the other night on the news........commenting on the lack of events at the Point Stadium. She went on to say that it was tough to schedule concerts and the like because it takes too long to convert the stadium back to a baseball field..........and the concerts would interfere with the games at the Point.
Does she mean the AAABA league games that draw a consitant 100 people at most? Is that the UPJ games that bring in 10 people? Here is an idea.............maybe you should have thought about the availability before you signed up for all these non profittable baseball games?
For anyone that believes the fallacy that the AAABA brings millions of dollars into the city, consider this:
It's August 3rd. There are 5 hotels (Holiday Inn Downtown, Econo Lodge Downtown, Comfort Inn, Sleep Inn, and Super
that have rooms available from August 8-12th on expedia.com.
But we can't keep the stadium open for Thunder in the Valley. Keep up the good work.
HMMM
Still, thousands of people crammed into every seat and standing along the right field balcony and under the walkway along the first base line had to be a thrill for the players.

Delweld’s 12-3 win in front of a standing-room-only crowd estimated at 7,000.
