Brian Poppe, who has spearheaded the Ballpark Renovation Committee, thanked those who helped make the renovation possible. He says it took a lot of hard work from a lot of people to bring the project together, and gives his initial impression on the new field. (play audio :29)
Grandview Park will be a temporary home for the Falls City Tigers. They’ll use the field this season as work continues to renovate the fields at Dallas Jones Park. Poppe says work there is progressing well. (play audio :22)
