The baseball stadium represents more than baseball. It represents our willingness to invest in ourselves. It's about our collective desire to affect change in our community and to create opportunities from that change. If we are willing to invest in ourselves, it sends a strong message out to others who are considering to invest in Greensboro. This project is a return to energy, optimism and effort that originally built this city.Doug Speight
Greensboro is very fortunate to be the beneficiary of this new ballpark, being provided entirely through private funds. The major downtown development is about much more than baseball. The new stadium will be one of several key cultural attractions that will bring more people downtown, and thus help nurture more downtown business development. Greensboro can continue to be a great place to live if we will let it grow and evolve with new attractions that are competitive with those in other communities. Greensboro is about schools, churches and synagogues, business, education, theater, music and yes baseball.Tom Sloan
The new baseball stadium is one important part of an overall strategy to reinvigorate downtown and create new jobs in Greensboro. The excitement caused by the baseball stadium has other developers looking for development opportunities downtown. We need something to jump start our downtown and the reality of the new stadium seems to be serving that purpose.Robbie Perkins (city councilman)
Downtown Greensboro is back!! Take a walk in downtown Greensboro today and you see many new faces and businesses. Mom's strolling babies and Greensboro "old timers" are back on the sidewalks of downtown as a renaissance is happening this very second in downtown Greensboro. Art galleries, theater, restaurants, clubs, bars, coffee shops, new residential and yes Baseball!! Downtowns across America have embraced new minor league stadiums for baseball and Greensboro will as well! Do we want to be known as the ONLY city in America that prohibits stadiums in their downtown? Lets embrace the "private" efforts to build a new stadium downtown as it will stimulate even more commerce in our center-city.Daniel Craft
