Major League Baseball, an immensely profitable business, indeed imposed the mandates for minor league teams without assuming the financial burdens of the improvements.Pharmabro wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 2:13 amhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EamG3cQsdYg

It is a report about how the MLB mandates are demanding that al MILB parks meet certain standards including:
Larger club houses
An area exclusively for female staffers
Field lighting enhancement
updated training facilities
And all these improvements are somehow the burden of the public taxpayer and not the private entity that profits from having a city to play in.

The Eugene Emeralds, who play in the High A Northwest League with Everett AquaSox, face similar issues:

The Hillsboro Hops of the Northwest League decided to partner with the city, county and state to build a new multi-use venue to meet MLB's more onerous standards.
https://www.milb.com/hillsboro/newballpark
Construction is underway on the $125 million stadium scheduled to be ready for Opening Day 2026. The Hops team, which will contribute $82 million toward the city-owned stadium, has signed a 40-year lease with the city. Transient lodging taxes will fund the city's contrribution of $18 million, the state's contribution of $15 million and the county's contribution of $8 million. Explore Tualatin Valley, a tourism nonprofit, will contribute $2 million.
An economic impact study commissioned by the team concluded that within seven years the city, county and state should recoup their contributions through lodging taxes. According to the study, the project is financially viable only because the year-round venue will host concerts and other events outside the 66 minor league baseball games each year.
This reminded me of the way Modesto lost its Nuts. And spending 125M on a minor league stadium seems like an overpay. Eugene could share it's venue with U. of O. if it is nicer. It would help recruit for them if it is a palace.harmony wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2024 12:38 amMajor League Baseball, an immensely profitable business, indeed imposed the mandates for minor league teams without assuming the financial burdens of the improvements.Pharmabro wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 2:13 amhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EamG3cQsdYg

I just checked UO has a stadium for baseball called PK park and it is only a 4K capacity field. So, you could see a coalition of the U, MILB team, city, county, state, maybe you even get the Oregon school system to hold their State-tournament there?Pharmabro wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 2:13 amhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EamG3cQsdYg

The Eugene Emeralds have shared the University of Oregon's PK Park since its opening in 2009. The Duck and Emerald baseball seasons did not overlap until 2021 when the Northwest League switched from short season to the near full-season High A. Scheduling issues now arise and, regardless, PK Park does not meet the MLB standards for minor league stadium:Pharmabro wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2024 5:18 amThis reminded me of the way Modesto lost its Nuts.
