Giants stage a quick comeback!

February 5th, 2008

The big news in baseball today is the move of the Richmond Virginia Braves to Atlanta. The team has been in Richmond for almost forty years. Since the mayor of the City of Richmond couldn’t figure out how or where to build them a new stadium, the Braves have taken an offer to go to Atlanta. The old stadium needs repair badly. They have rat infestations, no drainage on the field, and there is concrete that falls at inopportune minutes that could possibly hit someone in the head. The city has offered suggestions, but none have come to fruition. The Braves will be leaving at the end of the season.

Across the land in San Francisco, the Giants are trying to develop a new parking lot right next to their ballpark. The small strip mall will include several clubs, shops, and a place for musicians to give concerts. Usually they have around 2000 cars parked for every game. The strip mall will bite into that space. The Giants are hopeful that the new parking lot will help solve that problem. If not, they will have to look into other arenas for meeting their fan’s parking needs. They don’t want to lose any if they can help it.
