It's very sad. I spent a lot of time there as a kid going to baseball games and then midget races. So many good times.

The last I heard was they were going to build apartments where the seating area was with the apartment windows facing where the field/track was. They will leave the facade around the stadium up, though.

Such a shame, I wish it could have somehow been salvaged for the future, but I guess we'll have to move on with just our memories of the place.
