The Denton baseball franchise @ UNT

[ADLER]

This was from the November 30th edition, but I don't know if it was ever posted on this board. Has anyone heard any further developments, like fund raising or dirt turning since then? Are they still scheduled to start play in 2005?

The Denton baseball franchise has entered into an agreement with UNT to build and share a baseball facility on school property.

Funding for UNT ballpark is in place

Posted October 5, 2004

A group founding a Denton-based Texas Collegiate League baseball team has raised $650,000 that will be used to construct a stadium on UNT property, team official John Hampton said. Hampton said the money the group has raised will over the cost of constructing a minimal facility. UNT has an agreement with the TCL group to share the facility.
