Building a "Wrigley Village" for spring training
At the end of "Selig likes start to Ricketts' ownership," this caught my attention:
...The three Florida locations are near Interstate 75, which is east of Naples. The Ricketts would like to create a "Wrigley Village," and need about 120 contiguous acres to build a 15,000-seat stadium, six practice fields, and an upgraded training facility...

I think you're misreading that.
Just because the Ricketts want to create a “Wrigley Village”, doesn’t mean it has to be in Florida. There are several 120-acre places in Mesa, that the Ricketts saw earlier this month, where a similar place could be built.

The fact that he wants build a "Wrigley Village" is interesting
Well, I never heard it before, but it sounds uncommon nonsense.

I think what they want is a Camelback Ranch type of place...
… which would also include some restaurants/bars/etc. so people would hang around after the game.

Maybe they could use the land from Santa's Village

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out

They're just using this against Arizona.
Mesa knows they won’t get any tourism without us.
