It came out in ABC 7 Extra. The project manager said that the estimates never took into consideration the soil surrounding the site. In fact, because City Council insisted that they move on this immediately, there was never even a feasability evaluation taken. For this reason, there is concerns about how they are going to make the site able to support proper grass and also how they are going to deal with left field which at this point wouldn't even be 340 ft. Which is standard for professional baseball.

The project manager claims that with these issues, he would have to change some of the amenities that were included in the original rendition of the ballpark.

I'll watch that episode tonight and then do my homework on it. I am surprised, if accurate, no other media outlets have picked up on the story.
