For the Love of Wally Backman, Build That Triple A Ballpark in Summerlin Already
By ALAN SNEL
Dear Howard Hughes Corporation,
What are you guys waiting for?
You realize every year you wait to build a new 51s ballpark next to Downtown Summerlin means the most patient man in America -- 51s President Don Logan -- has to roll out the ol’ “sewage-at-Cashman” tale as his graphic go-to, fallback story about why Cashman is a sad excuse of a Triple A ballyard in a tough neighborhood.
This is a no-brainer.
Build the 51s new ball yard along Pavilion Center Drive in Summerlin.
Howard Hughes, you own:
1. The 51s
2. the land along Pavilion Center Drive where the 51s stadium is going to be built
3. Summerlin, the super-duper west valley development area that will host the ballpark
4. Downtown Summerlin, which is a nice feeder of fans who can stroll across the street to the new ball yard.
There it is -- Howard Hughes-owned land to build a Howard Hughes-owned Triple A ballpark
