If the team wants a new field let them buy some property and build one.
It is not the tax payers responsibility to provide a field for a commercial sporting team.
Let the 51's rot. After almost 30 years association with the game of baseball, I was treated very poorly by the 51's after all but promising me a job when I retired and moved to LV 3 years ago. This told me a lot about the quality of their organization and their integrity. I found a much better organization for which to work and am happily employed.
The mayor really needs to get on the ball with this one...The mayor needs that private group fund the basketball stadium, and then concentrate on building a real baseball park..."IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME..." Build a mix use facility with a retractable dome....Then lure a MLB team to the stadium, and if not then the 51s would have the best and when they are not using it they could use it for conventions....
