Message: [QUOTE="kibblesnbits, post: 3148211, member: 97"] This has to be one of the most inane arguments I’ve ever heard. 1) No one but you cares (ahem, has pride) about this massive problem. 2) It’s not a trivial fix or expense to print hundreds of yards of covering for the concrete facing - which makes no sense for a short-term home for a minor league (2nd Division) team. 3) For all your raving about the Yard Goats, remember that they couldn’t even come up with a temporary home for more than a handful of games. For those they did play in Norwich I’m sure you expected them to show some pride in enhancing the stadium. Imagine the indignity of playing in a stadium with NY-Penn team logos. 4) In a few years after the glow wears off will be the real test for both the YGs and HA. The Bridgeport Bluefish drew capacity crowds their first few seasons too. In the EL franchises like Bowie and Akron used to be big draws but bring in mediocre to small crowds these days. When attendance declines for the YG I’m sure you’ll have plenty of additional opportunities to display your incredible business acumen. P.S. I went by Dillon today and it is looking very nice. Add in some brightly colored tents for VIPs, supporters and the beer garden and it will be a fine place to watch a game. It won’t have all the amenities of DD Park, but it also cost about 20% as much. If the team improves and plays well at home, I can see it providing a nice, intimate setting for a 2nd Division team with solid 2nd Division crowds. [/QUOTE]
