MLB apparently slapped a bunch of requirements on the league for stadiums, and our 10 year old stadium didn't qualify. Very frustrating.

Hopefully the new one (thankfully mostly private money) will have more options to go with the costs, but it's also bulldozing 2 of our rec fields, so my beer league softball team is not amused.

I think the primary appeal of minor league baseball to me is that I don't especially care about the roster (unless there's a guy sent down for rehab/etc that is a known quantity), but I do like that I can go out, see a game, have some sort of fandom, and spend less than $20. Try that in the majors.
