Potential Minor League Team in Bloomington/Normal

[Banedon]

I think I posted about this a while back, but it's looking more and more like Bloomington-Normal will get a minor league team.

 

A stadium would be built at a Heartland Community College site with the possibility of a team being ready for play next spring. The Northern League, Frontier League and American Association, all independent leagues, have expressed a desire to add a Normal franchise.

 

Thiessen is “working under the timeline” of a tentatively scheduled May 6 Heartland board meeting to have a deal in place. Heartland president Jon Astroth said last week the school needs to decide at that meeting whether or not to go forward with plans of its own for an athletic complex.

 

Sounds like we should know more by May 6.
