This evening driving by Bossen, all the fields were full with players so it piqued my interest in Neiman Sports Complex...no one except one guy kicking a soccer ball.
Perhaps we should donate some of the Neiman land that the city already owns to the Twins...save $84 million in land acquistion, we would not have to do financing so save another 34 million, all the roads are new out in the area, light rail stops close by, lights and the 3 bases and home are already there so save another 235 million...Mr. Pohlad could take his 125 million and purchase some bleachers if he wants people to come, some fencing with a few cute director chairs for the box seats and some tarps for rain. Let the players have their open air ball playing that they want so badly..rain or shine...the city would get naming rights, make 56 million and with a few hot dog kiosks...make more than enough money to pay off the liens and save about 400 million....oh well, it was just a thought as I crossed the empty fields:=} Dorie Rae Gallagher Nokomis REMINDERS: 1.
