The first major steps in a what is likely to be a long trek toward demolition of the Cashman Field ballpark and Cashman Center took place in 2008.
The city wants to see something new built on the Cashman complex's 51 acres, and the proposals expected in 2009 have the potential to be either the best or the worst news in decades for the valley's fans of minor league baseball.
Redevelopment of the site comes with a condition: Developers must include plans to build a minor league ballpark on the site or somewhere else in the valley.
The Los Angeles Dodgers in 2008 ended an eight-year affiliation with the Las Vegas team, moving their Triple-A club to Albuquerque. Toronto then switched its Triple-A affiliation from Syracuse to the Las Vegas team, the 51s, but only signed up for two years. And the 51s' lease at Cashman Field, a 25-year-old building that everyone seems to agree is way past its prime, expires in 2010.
Don Logan, president and general manager of the 51s, said the team wants to stay in Las Vegas and hopes to “hang on” until a new ballpark is built.
He figures Las Vegas “knows how good minor league parks have been for other cities and what it could do for this one.”
Mayor Oscar Goodman, however, has often said that he is much more interested in major league teams than minor ones. (Baseball, Facilities, Financial, MinorLeagueVenueReport, Professional Sports)
