So they have 12 million to spend on this, but can’t do shit for the homeless?

meow that sounds about right

Left lane is go fast lane

Based on what was said at the press conference, it sounded like that's almost certain to happen at some point in the future -- but probably not right away.

"One of the terms of the lease is that (changing the stadium's name) is possible in the future. The naming rights for the field would turn into capital projects to keep improving the field. If the name does change, we want to make sure the money goes toward improvements."

Ours was almost 400 this month and we keep our heat at 68. We just had some real fucking cold days. Also, CU is the only run in town, they can butt fuck us all day, and do.

my last residence was a 1100sq ft house built in 1990. it is about 200 a month.

Normal, I live in a 120 year old house. You can go on budget billing where the amount is the same every month.

Make sure your furnace filter is changed, your thermostat isn't from the 50's and your furnace has been serviced for optimum use.

Cover your windows in plastic and get some insulated curtains.

The economic impact of a minor league sports team is even less than that of a major league sports team. People aren't exactly flying out of state to catch a Springfield Cardinals game nor are things like sports bars and such being built around the team.

I don't mind having a baseball team in town; I like the Cardinals. I'm just not gung-ho about subsidizing billionaires with public tax dollars.

Dealing with this exact issue my friend. I'm used to a CU bill of around $200 in apartment life, but since moving into my house on the north side its been in the lower $400's. I honestly don't know what im gonna do, but they're always really nice and work with their customers on payment plans. Best of luck!

Also, calm down. Traffic is shit. Go drive in Philly, NY or DFW.

I’m glad the city stepped into preserve this community asset. For those not in the know, the previous ownership group post JQH’s death had been neglecting this stadium(along with all other locally owned assets) and was in jeopardy of losing the team if something wasn’t worked out.

This is clearly a top 10 thing to do in Springfield anyway you look at it, so I’m glad the city stepped in to right the ship. The alternative would have been a huge loss for our city, regardless of whether you personally attend games. I’m not a big fan of tax dollars being spent loosely but with how intertwined this stadium and the Springfield Cardinals are with the community (field trips, non-profit fundraisers etc) this is much like a park (Jordan Valley Ice Park being a good comparison) or other community asset that the city had to unfortunately step in to preserve.

If I drive in the left lane. Chances are I am gonna turn left down the road. The left lane is a passing lane, not I am gonna drive as fast as possible lane. It is one speed limit. I don’t return to the right lane if I have to turn left in two blocks. Also, the bass pro hat checks. I work for them. Bunch of dicks. Sometimes.

Yes, Springfield's $12 million purchase of an existing minor league ballpark [$32 million build cost; ~$50 million adjusted for inflation] and parking lot is definitely comparable to MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR stadium projects in other cities with "median public contribution of $500 million per sports stadium." Good catch, r/springfieldMO.

Plastic covering the windows. Chase drafts with caulk and foam. Good luck. It just gets more expensive every year.

My house was built in 1888,1920's modern sheik,and that's about what mine is most months where I'm running the heat/air conditioning. Then about $40-$50 less in those off-peak months.I hope that helps

That sounds similar to mine. Only I'm in a newer house. Really, I think your lucky it isn't higher. Compare the usage amounts each month. With the cold we just had and in December it's hard to keep your gas usage down.

And scuff his brush guard while your car gets PIT maneuvered into the body shop for weeks?

From the KY3 news article, “The lease agreement going through 2038 would ensure the 2012 Texas League Champion Springfield Cardinals remain in Springfield where they have played since the affiliate’s founding in 2005.”

Love that they are called the 2012 Texas League Champion Springfield Cardinals. Team hasn’t made it to the Championship in 11 years. Only two appearances in 18 years and one championship.

Real shame that the city is footing this huge bill for a very bad team. I will say I frequent games here. Drop the prices of tickets and beer and I’d be a little more on board but unfortunately prices will only increase after the huge payment.

Put the vote to the city and it would not pass.
