Was reading through Councilman Senley's blog post about this month's borough council meeting, and saw this nugget in the 'Council Participation' section:
---
"...direction to the CDC on inquiring on the possibilities of a minor league baseball team in Phoenixville"
---
This is the first I am hearing of such a proposal and I am curious if anyone out there has any more information. I have read that West Chester is seriously considering building a minor league baseball stadium, is this just a matter of Phoenixville trying to keep up with the Joneses?
Personally, I think its a pretty interesting idea. As a father of a young boy, it would be fun to have something so close to be able to take him to. But with the current state of borough finances, is it at all viable?
Editors Note: Turns out if I had read the entire West Chester article I would have seen a line from West Chester mayor Dick Yoder in which he says the following:
---
"I see this as the Chester County stadium project," he said. "We could be looking at sites in West Chester, Phoenixville, Downingtown, who knows? We'll explore all site possibilities."
---
Apparently this is what prompted the topic to be discussed at this week's meeting.
