New drive in theater? We could be known as the city that has two!

I've heard suggestions for TU to use it for a baseball/softball team.

Have some good ideas for the stadium/land use?

Heard another minor league team to compete with Lamson which will be tough since he's got all that taxpayer and foundation jack.

Maybe the Birchers will come back.....kiddie rides!

I thought Cabella's had some sort of hillbilly haven attraction going in there, or is that going over the top of Little Puddle?

What if we modified it a little bit and tried to wrestle either the womens college softball world series, or the Little League world series away from their current sites?

That'd be great.

But, like most relics of our past.....

I don't think there is another viable use for it. Either it'll sit and rot or it'll be demolished.

We're behind the curve when it comes to dumping our ugly old fairgrounds ballpark with a nice downtown park. As far as I know, all the other cities that preceded us ended up either demolishing the fairgrounds parks or keeping them around but not really using them for anything.

Hotel complex.  Space port.  Parking lot. Dirt field.   Heck, just ask the Murphy's what they want because that is what will go there!

An amphitheater. Naw.... they will tear it down and make it another parking lot.

I am all for a go cart track or something of the sort, just bring racing back to the fairgrounds heck lets start and electric racing track we could be all spiffy like that. Oh and instead of scraping the old stands and stuff I am sure we could disassemble them and sell them off eh?
