Although neither venue is within Tempe, it is news that somewhat impacts the city. ASU's stadium deal with the Cubs fell through, so they will not be playing in the west Mesa venue. It appears like they will now try to reach an agreement with Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
I like this venue a lot more. It is an important part of sports history in Phoenix, and it would be a shame for it to remain vacant once the A's leave. Plus, I would like for Papago to begin to be fixed up a bit and have it become a park that the whole city visits.
