I'm not on board with any idea or pie in the sky to bring MLB here as much as I love baseball (or anything else to Austin major league level), but I've said for years the Statesman site/area would be perfect for a ballpark. Home plate on the southeast, left foul line out due west parallel to Riverside Dr, center field/batter's eye closet to bridge/bat viewing area. etc. Would draw comparisons to PNC Park in Pittsburgh for the backdrop views. And would be adjacent to planned light rail routes.

you may be the first person to mention this on here
An MLB stadium on that lot, would be amazing! Very similar to Pitt. Obvisouly I would want it to be more high rises, but I would also take MLB with a view
