Texas has too many dams as it is, and they are horrible for the health of our natural water ways. They're certainly not the way out of this water crisis.
Regardless, we don't even know how this hypothetical stadium project would be funded, so I don't know if we should go down the path of "here's what the money should be spent on..." It's not necessarily an either/or proposition.
Also, I doubt a minor league/college baseball stadium would be as expensive as the 'Dome, though I could be wrong. SA knows how to screw these kinds of things up.
