We've seen this type of "industry based ballpark" before... down south when the textile
mills and the tobacco companies would try to out-do their competition in
the quality and beauty of their ballparks. The best standing example of this is
probably up north in Akron Ohio where the stunning Firestone Stadium was built
in 1931 and is still being utilized today by the professional NPF softball league
and their famed Akron Racers. Because these stadia are not built specifically
for professional baseball, they sometimes will last much longer than ballparks
built specifically for Minor League use. |
