We either need to invest in our baseball program or just get rid of it.

Consider it like credit card debt. If you're carrying a high balance, can you pay off the balance or just a smaller amount knowing you're going to pay more in the long run but there is no other option.

It sucks. I wish they had the money for upgrades to the program. The field was well below standard when I was there in the 90s and it's the same field with no upgrades some 20 years later.

Unfortunately, we don't have a contract to ride out or hope Temple comes along and takes it off our hands when it comes to the field/"stadium".

Heck, it is the same field as when I was there from 1970 to 1974.

That's sad, and I would believe it. That stadium and the lack of fan concessions and rickety aluminum stands were pathetic when I was there in early 2000s.

I'm guessing Phase 1 of these plans never happened. I made a donation to the plans and never heard anything since then.
