No kids. In favor of it. Happy for my tax dollars to go to it. Just like the new City Hall because the last one was so sad, pathetic and woefully inadequate. If you want nicer things to come to College Station you have to act like you're serious about it.

Im all for cuts in govt spending on bad things, but it gets massively worse at the state and federal level. When you have a chance to improve your local community, it's about the only time I'm in favor of a little spending.

I have one College Station elementary school kid playing ball and I spend $3,000 in the spring season alone getting to and from and eating out in Houston.
That's just getting there, staying overnight, eating out, and parking. Honestly, that's probably just a low end guess too. I bet it's more than that. Does not include our team membership dues, uniforms, and tournament fees. Also does not include what we spend on travel ball in the fall either. Just talking about the spring. We're one of eleven families on our one team. There are multiple teams our same age level in B/CS and multiple age levels doing it too in B/CS. There are also anywhere from a handful to three or four handfuls of teams participating in each tournament we travel to Houston to play in. B/CS is central to Dallas, Austin, Waco, and Houston so, if developed, tournaments here should draw well and be more reliable earners than tournaments than the same old $#!+ we see over and over again in Houston each weekend. I'm in favor. My rough math says there's $2.3M spent by B/CS families in the Houston area during spring baseball season alone. Not counting softball. And softball is nuttier than baseball. Not counting the fall season either.

Build it…they will come. Build it in corn fields.

I would have to disagree. You end up seeing a lot of the same teams tournament after tournament in Houston. With BCS being centrally located between the major cities, Houston teams would absolutely come here to play other teams around the state.
