« Stadium roundup | Main | Inside baseball: Who applied for ABC »

Where we've been; where we're going

We here at Ballpark Frankness haven't had too much to post these past few months (with the news that the Rays were abandoning their plans for a waterfront ballpark and all). But now that Jeff Lyash's ABC coalition is kicking into gear and the Rays are in the playoff hunt, it's time to pick things back up.

So starting next week, we're going to try to rev things up a bit. We hope you come back to see what we're up to. Suggest what you may like to see more of.

I'm going to include more video pieces about stadiums that I can find on the Net. I'll also try to keep folks up to date on stadium sagas in places outside St. Petersburg. We'll also finish our HeatCheck work, which is testing how baseball would have been this year had it been played outdoors.

And I plan to have some online-only Q&A's with people at the forefront of the stadium debate.

See you all next week.

Aaron

I think that no matter what side of the debate you are on, Ballpark Frankness has been a really cool blog. I'm glad that it will continue on.

Best regards,

I know I look forward to the Q&As with people at the forefront of the debate!

Boston:2 RAYS:5 top of the third!

ESPN is running a story on their E:60 program regarding just what Mr. Kalt--and others, did in putting together the new Yankee stadium deal. Might want to run that clip. Sure hope the ABC crowd views what is now being aired.

GWO. I saw that story on Monday, I believe. If I can find the clip online, I will post it here.

Lest we forget --

And it appears the clip on Yankee Stadiium referred to above has somehow disappeared from the ESPN library.
