Regional Roundup
Question of the Week
Tuesday we asked: The Worcester Bravehearts ranked seventh nationally in attendance among collegiate-league baseball teams this year, at 2,356 people per game. The Worcester Railers say they've sold more season tickets to the upcoming season than the Worcester Sharks did in their final year of play. The city is actively courting the Pawtucket Red Sox to move to Worcester, with nearly 100 area business leaders signing a letter supporting the effort.
Given Worcester's strong attendance with other sports teams, should the public offer subsidies to draw the Pawtucket Red Sox to a new ballpark here?
  • This would be a HUGE win for Worcester and would further boost the level of economic activity in this area of the city (which is already experiencing tremendous growth and development). As long as the public funds are directed prudently and appropriately (at whatever level), this project would continue to elevate Worcester's standing as the second largest city in New England and the Heart of the Commonwealth - and complement an already robust level of development in and near the downtown.
  • This is a great team that would draw interested fans from the region. Go for it!
  • The Paw Sox should come to Worcester because it makes good financial sense for them, not because they get a tax break or other subsidy.
