Got this pic from another thread on another site.

Now if I'm looking at that correctly, that looks like the outline of what was/is/never was a baseball stadium. Does anyone know what it was?

 

 

 

Closer pic:

The city has been talking with former Kings owner Gregg Lukenbill and local attorney d*** Hyde about building a sports stadium on the land. The new venue, designed for a possible Triple-A team, could provide competition for West Sacramento which has plans to build a new ballpark for the Vancouver Canadians. That team hopes to begin play in a new California home in 2000. Sacramento's decision to approve the development drew criticism from West Sacramento officials, saying it does not show good cooperation and makes it more difficult to find sponsors and luxury suite patrons.

Raley is the one actually built. The Vancouver team still exists up there.

West Sacramento beat Sacramento. Word is that the A's could move to Sacramento if Oakland and San Jose are not options. Raley can be expanded.

So they just abandoned the land and left the property there?

Apparently it's back up and running. I believe FIU played there a couple years ago.

 

Homestead Sports Complex

That's good to see. Homestead needed it. Maybe the Orioles could move there for Spring Training.

Good article a while back in the Herald about how Cleveland trashed the ballpark's hopes and everything and how this nice park is just sitting there.
