Baseball at Pompano Park?

October 04, 2006 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Pompano Park is being pitched as a new location for a baseball stadium for the Florida Marlins. According to reports, local government officials have been in talks with the Marlins for several months.

“There are possibilities,” said Pompano Beach Mayor John Rayson, who told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that he has toured the track with representatives of the Marlins and the track’s owner, Isle of Capri.

An offer would need to be presented to the Broward County Commission. “We’re still about two weeks away from finalizing,” said Broward County Mayor Ben Graber.

Pompano Park presently sits on 223 acres. The vice mayor of Pompano Beach, George Brummer, said he has concerns about adding traffic to the Atlantic Boulevard-Powerline Road area.

The area that for many years was the Pompano Park Training Center is now the site of a Super WalMart and other retail stores.
