It's currently under construction along I-95 in South Philadelphia, about 3 blocks from the Vet. It opens at about this time 2 years from now. The new baseball stadium should be going up soon as well, if it hasn't started already. That opens in April 2004.
But for now, and probably until the end of September, my tax dollars are paying Public Works employees to lay down asphalt over the base cutouts and pitchers mound. Then they'll tear it up when the field needs to be converted back to baseball. We'll see how well it works Thursday night.
