“This could be a really historic moment for the City.”

“I am grateful that they (BFOD) chose our community, out of 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts, for this potential project.”

“This is the very beginning of what will be a very long process that will involve, and insure, a lot of participation by the public.”

“Every game is an event. Every game is something fun for folks.”

“This is the perfect site. We have been aware of this site for 3.5 years...and we’ve been waiting. We have not spent our time with any other sites. We’re here to build this thing here in Malden and we’re very pleased that it is finally becoming available.”

“This will be a wonderful economic boost for the City.”

“This is designed to be affordable family entertainment.”

“We are incredibly proud to be here in Malden. We really believe that this is the best site in all of greater Boston.”

More from the MRA Hearing of 1/12/12:

“The key ingredients for success:

  1. •You have to have market that makes sense. We know we have that. We’ve got the demographics. We’ve got the business base.

  2. •You have to have a stadium to do the things you need to do as a business, but also do some of these multi-event activities.

  3. •You have to have a stadium that gives the fans the experience they are looking for with their families.

  4. •It’s important to have a league that is stable.

  5. •It is important to have ownership that is committed to the project.

  6. •You have to have management that is experienced.”

“We are looking to being a member of independent professional baseball.

Independent teams don’t have to deal with territorial issues. It gives us the opportunity to look at a great market like Malden.”

“The Atlantic League is the league of our choice, founded in 1998. It plays 140 games, 70 home games, starting in April, running to early September.


They have high caliber of play going after guys who have been in the major leagues and want another shot  or are just a step away from the major leagues.
