The city has taken the philosophy that we would provide the facilities to to other other entities than simply market baseball.
Pre-COVID, we had 350. Okay. And we were using Musky's Park for the kids as well, right? Because there's not enough fields.
Just doing a little mini neighborhood park cost us around $300,000 to do a field. A park that we're kind of talking about is half a million dollars.
