By a 3-2 vote, Bowling Green city commissioners committed Thursday afternoon to sell $25 million in bonds for a major downtown redevelopment deal."Unspecified minor-league baseball team"?
That clears the way for investor Art Solomon to buy an unspecified minor-league baseball team on Friday. He’s promised to keep it in Bowling Green for at least 20 years, playing in a new downtown stadium. The redevelopment deal includes construction of that 4,000- seat stadium, the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center and an adjacent 790-space parking garage. That in turn brings the promise of millions in surrounding private development n housing, retail and other commercial uses n tax proceeds from which will be used to pay off a total of perhaps $100 million in bonds over 30 years.
Ballpark Digest speculates that it is the Columbus Catfish of the South Atlantic League. Speculation only.
Not speculation. Billy Joel to play last concert at Shea Stadium.
Billy Joel will become the last artist to perform at New York's Shea Stadium after announcing a summer show at the home of baseball team the New York Mets.That's all well and good, but what about a last wrestling card at Shea. Bruno Sammartino vs. Larry Zbyszko II?
The Last Play At Shea, From The Beatles To Billy concert will take place on July 16 - in the middle of the Mets' final season at the stadium.
Joel will become the only artist to play shows in both New York's baseball meccas, Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium, and he'll be the first act to stage a show at Shea since Elton John and Eric Clapton performed there in 1992.
