Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Wednesday, February 04, 2009When will it end?As anyone who has read this blog for a long time knows, I am firmly against Kevin Costnerly-funded stadiums, but people continue to be suckered into such deals over and over again.Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 7:00am Comments

Kevin Costnerly-funded stadiums? Is this a trend I’m missing, Craig? As someone who lives only an hour or so away from where the stadium will be, I’m actually excited about this. I imagine a game or two down there would be fun, especially Opening Day, when you just know Kevin Costner & Modern West will play a show. Not that there’s a shortage of good independent baseball around these parts, especially considering Madison Mallards are only 70 miles away (and, boy, do they put on a good show). Of course, I’m probably a bigger Costner fan than I should be, and I actually enjoyed myself at the (free) Modern West show I went to (winning $100 on the slots while waiting in line didn’t hurt either), so I may not be the best person to ask. —lar Posted 02/04 at 11:06 AM

Surely “Costnerish” is a better appelation? It also has nice resonance with “squishy” which is what the numbers always are. Posted 02/04 at 02:29 PM

“I’d like for the players to have to walk through corn to get to the field from the clubhouses.” That would be so awesome! Posted 02/04 at 05:13 PM

Interestingly the press release mentions that it will be “minutes” from Six Flags and whatnot, which of course is in Gurnee, not Zion. I know because I live in Gurnee and can see Six Flags from my driveway (the tall bits anyway) and I’m sure you’re all very happy for me. I’ll probably take my kids to a game, but only if we can be sure Costner won’t be there. Posted 02/04 at 05:15 PM

Ah, but will it be a Bull Durham-esque hit or a For the Love of the Game-esque failure? Also, will there be corn in the outfield? I’d like for the players to have to walk through corn to get to the field from the clubhouses.
