A New Harrison Square Blog
By Chad Gramling | April 25, 2008
I stumbled onto a new blog today. The blogger, listed only as “FW Citizen” has just two posts as of this writing, so who knows where it will go from here. It can be found at http://accountw331.blogspot.com.
The catalyst for the idea is the re-location of the Fort Wayne Wizards to a new stadium, which will be built in the new downtown Fort Wayne area. This is where the first concerns about the project are visible. The idea is to build around the new stadium and use it as the main attraction for the downtown area. However, the new stadium is costing 30 million and holds the same capacity as the current baseball stadium. This is just the first of several things that will be analyzed in this blog, as we try to look at Harrison Square and the reasoning for the mega million dollar project.
I’ll continue to monitor this one.

I believe the idea of buildin a new baseball stadium is a good idea. Yeah it will cos the 30 million but I am sure this expense will eventually be covered by the revenues of the new stadium. People enjoy to visit new places. I am sure all of the Wizards fans ou there will enjoy having a new stadium to go do. I have never even been to a Wizards game and I still think it is a good idea. I might even decide to go to a game when the new stadium is built. A new stadium may attract new fans to the area. If it is planned to be the main attraction downtown I believe it will attract new fans which will in turn increase the profits.
