  • Baseball Study Recommends Downtown Maco... For
    POLITICS & GOVERNMENT FEBRUARY 23, 2016 6:51 PM Baseball study recommends downtown Macon stadium for minor league team BY STANLEY DUNLAP [email protected] The company behind a Macon baseball feasibility study is recommending a downtown ballpark as a catalyst for economic development, with the ability to draw at least 250,000 people each year. B&D Venues, which presented its study to the Macon-Bibb County Commission on Tuesday, estimated a new minor league stadium could generate about $171 million in economic activity and $176 million in wages over a 30-year period. The top three sites, according to Washington, D.C.-based B&D Venues, would be Mid City Square offSecond Street, an area offMartin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Plum Street, and an area that includes Telegraph-owned property on Broadway. The study estimates that 250,000 to 300,000 people would attend ball games and other stadium events during the year. The report said Macon could support a Class A team, in part because about 350,000 people live within a 30-minute drive from downtown. B&D, which is under the umbrella of program management firm Brailsford & Dunlavey, scouted eight sites around downtown that could accommodate a 5,000-seat stadium estimated to cost about $38 million, not including land acquisition, parking or any off-site infrastructure. "Our personal experience is if people say they aren't going to come downtown, if you make a decision to build a state-of-the-art stadium, attract a (team) ... they'll come downtown. They'll absolutely come downtown," said Rich Neumann, vice president of major accounts for B&D Venues.
