Yep...Another one


Still looking for someone to photoshop Snappy into this photo, because The Neverending Story continues.
Plans are still under way for a new Beloit Snappers stadium to be built in the Gateway Business Park.

The stadium — estimated to cost $18 million to $20 million — could be built in time for the 2012 or 2013 season if construction is complete and the finance is locked in, according to Snappers Chairman Dennis Conerton. The site is north of Cranston Road at the intersection of Apex Drive and Gateway Boulevard.

Before the players are ready to throw out the first pitch, however, many more details need to be discussed and finalized. Thus, in order to give an update on the stadium feasibility project, Conerton met with Rock County 5.0 representatives and again with City of Beloit officials last week.

“We just wanted to give everyone information on what’s been going on to keep them in the loop and to answer questions they might have and to hear their ideas because everyone would like to see this succeed to keep minor league baseball in the county,” Conerton said.

So far the architectural and engineering studies have concluded the 20-plus acre site is capable of housing the roughly 4,000-square-foot stadium and its parking. Now the stadium committee is awaiting the results of two financial-related studies expected to be complete by the end of May.
4,000-square foot stadium? that's gotta be a typo. The trailer is 1,200 square feet...(Hey, I never said that I lived in a bad trailer).
