Didn't McCoy already have a high school football stadium adjacent to it? Keeping the baseball field (more specifically, the grandstands which need a lot of maintenance) unless a new tenant was coming; wasn't necessary in any way, shape or form.

Excellent. From brownfields to leading the nation in minor league attendance and voted the best minor league park in America. Play Ball!

JC Bradbury does not take it well if people question his methodology.

I had friends At Polar Park just last night. Perfect weather night for a baseball game. Many schools already out for summer in several local communities. Spoke with them this morning and they said there were, even with these favorable factors, still plenty of empty seats all around the ballpark (also keep in mind that there are an estimated 2k seats less than capacity). Their selfie taken during the game and posted to Facebook confirmed it. My friends have been to several other games in previous seasons and thought the attendance last night was noticeably less. They chalked it up to the novelty of a new stadium and team wearing off a bit.

The season ticket holder I was with said pretty good crowd for a Wednesday Reasonable to think there was some novelty attendance that is wearing off

If not please stop bitching about it and enjoy the new Pawtucket soccer stadium.....oh wait.

Edward A. LeLachuer Park in Lowell was probably quiet last night, too. Wiki only lists UMass Lowell baseball as current users of the stadium.

I will never stop. Polar Park will supply me with info for some 20 years illustrating how it did not meet the promised expectations.
I will also never step foot inside the park for as long as I live. I was not even aware that my WPI friends had gone to the game the other night until they made their Facebook post. They know enough never to ask me as they know my reply.

I’m sorry this is such a consuming issue for you that will haunt you for years and years to come.

As I go to the game tonight with 10 of my friends it will be comforting to know the atmosphere won’t be ruined by a whiny, bitter, troll like rf1.

More than that, and they actually invite me to a game.

It seems that some believe the politicians in Worcester made promises in regard to the profitability of Polar Park that have not been found to be correct. Imagine that, politicians who make promises they do not keep. Is that really so hard to believe? Is that a reason to start ad hominem attacks on fellow posters?

Feel sorry for you. Must be tough being this angry. Many of us drove to the out-of-date structure that was McCoy Stadium from the Worcester area. Border patrol in Smithfield was always nice and welcome to us. Life's too short to walk around pouting every day.

Wait until they fix the part of 146 in RI that has a traffic light; the ride to The Woo will be that much faster!

Not the same equivalent. Those people were not driving to see a team that turned its back on them and abandoned its area after some 50 years of loyalty.
