So we move to double A and a larger stadium, right?

If we ever did move up, I'd want to keep the ballpark just the way it is (features) but add another deck ontop of the suites and possibly add seats near the train tracks. Wouldn't it be nice if we saw a development similar to The Fieldhouse go in where the bus station is? It could be called "The Station" or something like that

Through the first 23 home games at Fluor Field this season, the Drive are averaging 4,864 fans per game, which is ahead of last season’s recording setting pace.

Sell outs, or near sell outs are impressive for minor league games!

Plus, its better to have a smaller stadium full or almost full, than a large stadium half empty!

Well sure, I'd agree but I'm not sure where those half empty large stadiums are? You can't hardly ever get Sox and Yankee tickets at gate prices to save your life - at roughly 40K per game in attendance.

The average attendance of our local AA team is 5300 - smack between Yankee/Redsox territory I might add.

Your ignorance is on display once again. Why not offer a bit of real information about the Greenville Drive instead of arrogantly scoffing at the successfully operated organization?

My hubby and I are thinking of coming up to see family in GV the weekend of July 4th. Should we buy tickets ahead for Saturday's game? We just LOVE GV!!!
