The Colorado Springs Sky Sox, who were located in Hawaii before moving to Colorado Springs, say they will be moving to San Antonio, Texas in 2018 if that city agrees to build them a new stadium. I attended Saturday night's game at Sky Sox Stadium (now called Security Service Field) Saturday night with my friend Mark and his friend Tony, and thought the park looked great. There was a big crowd in attendance, most of them wearing Sky Sox paraphernalia, and everyone was in a great mood.
Of course, the reason the team wants to move is that they want the city to build them a new stadium, and the City Council voted against it. I don't know why their current stadium is considered inferior, but I am sure it involves money. It seems like no matter what kind and level of sports, it is all about the money these days. A sad comment on our times. Of course, by 2018 I might very well be retired, and will have the time to drive to San Antonio to watch the Sky Sox (or whatever they decide to rename themselves) play. Like that's going to happen.
