After once stating that public funds shouldn't help build minor-league sports facilities, outgoing San Antonio mayor Ron Nirenberg has changed his tune. In a statement released this week, Nirenberg signaled his support for using public funding to build a new ballpark for the San Antonio Missions minor-league baseball team.
The San Antonio Missions risk being kicked out out of the league if a plan to replace Wolff Stadium isn't ironed out by the start of next season.
In a statement released this week, Nirenberg signaled his support for using public funding to build a new ballpark for the San Antonio Missions minor-league baseball team. Insiders say the structure could cost around $200 million. "For me, I don't think the public needs to be investing in minor-league sports; we are a big-league city," Nirenberg said.
With Nirenberg termed out, it's possible he doesn't want his legacy to include the elimination of a longstanding San Antonio sports team.to allow County Judge Peter Sakai to draft a letter of intent stating that the county will participate in building a new stadium for the Missions.
