If you want to improve baseball, than stop it from taking and encouraging corporate welfare. Stadium construction should not done with public tax dollars.

The opposition seems focused on the Shockoe Bottom location. F.T Rea and others would like to get regional governments, including Richmond, to invest in a refurbish diamand.
What are your thoughts on that?
I think if there is baseball in Richmond, it would be most cost effective to use the existing facility and upgrade it.
I still don't think public money should be used, no matter where it goes.
I don't think you want it in Shockoe Bottom under any circumstances, do you?
"Many ... agree that Richmond deserves a world class sports stadium within its urban footprint"... ,(but) environmentalists question the concept of plunking a massive structure in the middle of several sensitive, historic neighborhoods, a growing transportation center, and the topography of the Shockoe Valley, creek, and floodplain.Sierra Club paper left in a comment by you.
I'm glad you agree Richmond deserves a world class stadium. I hope you help us make that happen.
No, Paul, I don't think the Shockoe stadium proposal makes sense at all.
