GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Don’t make plans yet to catch a Green Bay Bullfrogs baseball game at a new stadium on the banks of the Fox River.
The Green Bay Press Gazette is reporting the city’s Finance Committee wants a lot more information on how much the project would cost the city…and how much more owners of the Bullfrogs would be willing to pay.
City staff estimates Green Bay would be on the hook for up to $ 4 million in interest payments on the $9 million dollar project.
And that’s before buying up lots near the stadium for parking, then cleaning up contamination currently buried under a clay covering.
The committee also wants more information on the costs associated with the Bullfrogs leaving Johannes Stadium, which is owned by the city.
The Johannes Park Neighborhood Association says its opposed to the new stadium because it would mean losing a major asset in that part of the city.
