The most important ingredient in having a 24-hour center-city is the abundance of people. In order to attract people to the center-city, there must be reasons for people to come there in the first place. A new downtown ballpark in Greensboro would contribute greatly in luring people and other spin-off business to downtown Greensboro. This is not just about baseball. This is about creating a synergetic environment where people want to live, work, shop and play. Part of Greensboro's vision is about creating a downtown that's the hub for cultural, recreational and entertainment activities. In order to maintain our quality of life, we must evolve.
