As you drive out to the park you quickly
realize this thing was built in the middle of nowhere. There
are literally cows
surrounding the park that you can see through the right field park
fence. Yes, it's easy to build
a stadium in the middle of a farm field. You have ample room
for parking (as seen here) and it is cheap ($3). But there in
lies the major flaw of Arvest Ballpark. In today's world
weaving stadiums and other large public projects into the urban
fabric of a community is a BIG trend. Sure, downtown
Fayetteville has a huge University of Arkansas presence but whatever
happened in the area that stopped the ballpark from being built
there or in any other unique setting is a mistake by the NW Arkansas
collective leadership. |
