March Update
At a Regina City council meeting held October 2021, LSSE and the Red Sox presented a vision and plan for a new baseball stadium in Regina. At that time, LSSE and the Red Sox offered to financially cost-share a feasibility study together with the city. City administration asked council to authorize spending up to a maximum of $100,000 dollars for the cities proportionate cost of a feasibility study. The Red Sox and LSSE brought 14 delegations to the meeting. All spoke in favour of proceeding, with no delegations in attendance opposing the study. Nonetheless, the motion was defeated 8-3, with councillors Shaw, Findura, and Bresciani voting in favor of the feasibility study. At the meeting a subsequent motion was put forward to consider a Needs Assessment Study (NAS) regarding a baseball stadium that is now underway. The NAS is being undertaken by the City of Regina, Real Exhibition Association Limited and LSSE/Regina Red Sox. The cost of the study is being shared equally among the parties. It is anticipated that the results of the NAS will be presented to city council June 2022, which we hope will lead to proceeding with a feasibility study.
