RVLADY Bakersfield-based Wallace & Smith General Contractors will be the builders for the project, so yes it should be local labor, now can you calm down, and be happy.

Private funding ???? I hope they hre LOCAL LABOR to build it!

It will be privately funded so quit having a fit, not everything can go downtown. Funny how when San joaquin hospital announced when the cancer center would be built downtown everyone had a fit because they had to buy out a couple businesses to make room for the building. Just think of how much room they would need for a stadium.

d

it's going to be! Bako almost to shafter & Taft. soon be big as LA with just as much crime!

"Bakersfield’s professional baseball team finally will get a new stadium, a state-of-the-art, center-of-town ball park with 3,500 seats plus luxury suites, picnic grounds and special event grounds, the team’s owners will announce today." Does that not say center-of-town ball park? Since when is Coffee and Brimhall Roads the center of Bakersfield?

Agree with RVLADY, what will this cost the tax payers? Of course there's no mention about who's footing the bill.

At what cost to tax payers? Will kill downdown Bakersfield!Tax payers should decide if wanted!
