~yawn~ ... and I am not knocking Huntsville when I express that sentiment. I had the exact same response when Montgomery jumped on the let's "build an aquarium" bandwagon. The largest one in the world is VERY close to both of our cities and the one in Chatanooga is in your own backyard.

This seems shortsighted. One of the best things that occurred here in Montgomery was the construction of Riverwalk Stadium in our downtown. A new baseball park could be a huge catalyst to get people back into the core of your downtown!

This would surpise a LOT of people! I guess it is a possibility, but generally AAA teams are located in larger markets. Plus, if attendance for the Stars has been as bad as some have reported, it does not look like a move to to AAA is warranted. However, maybe there is a AAA team that is looking to re-locate. $$$ and a state-of-the-art ballpark can be good incentives!
