Yes, the town, which says no public money will be involved, has said the consultant will determine by April 1st if the private investors are really ready to go ahead with minor league ball in Normal. My info is mainly from the local press, and they are saying that Heartland needs to know by April 1st so they can either go ahead with their original plan or if the stadium will be built.
Previous reports have said if the minor league stadium is built, the field would be artificial turf, grass if no stadium.
My personal assumption is that we are not talking about a stadium that could hold 6000 or 7000 people. I think something that would hold 2000 to 3000 comfortably would be all that this area could support realistically. I can't imagine even 10 million being spent to build the stadium. We'll see I guess. But would be pretty **** nice for a JC.
