Baseball Task Force Created

As you may recall I blogged about the possibility of attracting a minor league baseball team to Round Lake awhile ago, complete with a poll! Which had a 78% favorable feeling to it.

I have named Niel Flamm to head the task force, and he has asked me to let you know that the first date for the meeting is March 7 at 6pm at the village hall.

I have given the task force four basic questions to answer.

1. How much economic benefit does a minor league team bring to a municipality?
2. What are the costs of building a stadium?
   
3. What kind of stadium would be appropriate for the area?
   
4. How would we attract a team if we got past the first two questions and what would be the form of agreement it would take?

Niel wants to have a lively group so if you are interested in attending the first meeting you can email him here.

By the way the picture comes from a marvelous site called MinorLeagueBallParks.com with some great pictures. Pick a style and its here!
