Because of it's downtown location, real estate was a little on the pricey side (much
the reason why ballparks were built in the middle of nowhere, in years past).
The final price on this ballpark was $31 million. Quite a bit for a Double-A
franchise! Luckily the 500,000 fans a year the team drew for the first 3 seasons,
helped counter the costs! |
