That's great, but who's going to fund the preservation effort. We all have great memories of McCoy stadium, and I sure hope that it can be preserved in some way, but the fact of the matter is it costs money to maintain a stadium, whether it's played in or not. Also, that's a large piece of land that could be used for the development of revenue generating businesses. Given the current fiscal condition of both the city of Pawtucket and the state or Rhode Island, although it pains me to say it, we can ill afford to keep this stadium around as a giant souvenir.
