WinterHawks Won’t Play @ McEuen

Today, there was an article in the Spokesman Review regarding the Spokane River Hawks. The Spokane River Hawks are looking for a permanent location in Coeur d’Alene and have explored options over the past few years with a group of interested parties including city representation. There are no commitments or agreements for any permanent location at this time. In the interim however, the Spokane River Hawks have identified a few locations in Coeur d’Alene that may be suitable as a temporary site until a permanent location is identified. None of the temporary locations being considered at this time are owned, managed, or controlled by the City of Coeur d’Alene. It is this temporary site that the Spokane River Hawks hope to be playing on in 2011. McEuen Field IS NOT being considered/City Administrator Wendy Hague , Coeur d’Alene Today.

Question: Forget the location question for a minute. Are you glad to see Coeur d’Alene land the Spokane RiverHawks baseball team?
