"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
26 August 2004Now it's an eyesoreIn 1962, the shiny new All Sports Stadium opened at the Fairgrounds, a home for the city's brand new minor-league baseball club, the 89ers. In 2004, the Niners are now the RedHawks and play in Bricktown; All Sports Stadium has sat vacant for four years, below contemporary minor-league standards and nowhere near "accessible" in the ADA sense. The Fairgrounds Trust has now declared the stadium "surplus property," the first step towards demolition. I spent quite a few evenings in the old ballpark way back when; it was pretty decent for its time, but its time is long gone. Still, it's going to be odd driving I-44 past 10th Street and seeing nothing on the corner. Better nothing than yet another Walgreens.. They should put up a bank there. That's what we need - more bank branches. Posted by: Dan at 5:00 PM on 26 August 2004They can't put a Walgreens there: it's over a mile to the nearest Eckerd's. They could always build another church. Posted by: McGehee at 12:34 PM on 27 August 2004 |
