el paso downtown ballpark

On the day of his biggest decision as Mayor of El Paso and quite possibly the biggest day in the cities history, Mayor John Cook joined us on SportsTalk.

El Paso is one step closer to having affiliated baseball for the first time in nearly a decade. Following the 'If you build it they will come' model made popular in the 1989 film 'Field of Dreams,' the El Paso City Council voted 6-2 this afternoon to approve funding for a ballpark that will occupy the very site the votes were cast.

Yesterday was a huge day for El Paso. Once the city council posted Tuesday's agenda on its website, the city was buzzing over the news that the council will vote on a proposal to build a downtown ballpark.
