There isn't any hate or resentment at all. I'm very happy with The Town of Gilbert's decision to build "Field of Dreams" It's tax dollars that was well spent for our youth. It's a very positive influence for kids and families in our community.

This is your quote, "We need more places constructed to help promote positive development our our youth. Have you noticed how obese the children of this country have become? Have you noticed how fast pased and stressfull our county has become."

Yes, I agree with you. We need more places to help promote positive development for our youth. And "Field of Dreams" is a step in the right direction to help solve these problems.

You comments are very ignorant and you don't make any sense at all.

Way to spin it on the war and a single person. Your hate and resentment blind your ability to see purpose and necessity. We need more places constructed to help promote positive development our our youth. Have you noticed how obese the children of this country have become? Have you noticed how fast pased and stressfull our county has become. Keep your hate and political agenda away from our children.

This is tax payers dollars going to work in a positive manner. What a great facility for kids and families.

Becky, if you want to complain about tax payer money. Go thank President Bush. Go complain abou the money that we've spent on the war. We could have put that money towards repaving every highway, remodeled every school, and provided health care for every family in the United States. That's where your focus should be.

Not about a baseball facility for our kids.

Not only do you have to pay for your child to play there but you have to pay to watch them play.

Cheryl, the people that had a lot of money were the taxpayers–it was a 41 million dollar boondoogle that is the biggest component of Gilbert’s budget crisis.

It is very nice–but twelve year olds do not need a ball park that rivals Fenway Park–especially one funded by taxpayers.

Someone had a great idea to come up with this (and they must have had a lot of money, too)! Who wouldn’t want to go see their kid play at their favorite big-league stadium? It’s brilliant!
