Interesting that both stadiums opened on the same day, but it makes sense – baseball’s opening day. Also noteworthy that both ball parks were constructed at the expense of the team. How quaint, that a company should construct and own its place of business without forcing taxpayers to underwrite it.
Hope you’ll keep this subLemmy going, thanks.
Absolutely plan on continuing to post here. I’ve started many communities that I’ve kind of stopped posting in, some are going by themselves, others are dead, but I’m a historian and read these things anyway, so I may as well post about it when I learn something new to me
