I actually always thought All Sports Stadium was a dumb name.....why call it that if you only have one sport there?

Anyhow, I'm glad to hear the stadium is finally being demolished. It's about time. Actually, they haven't used the stadium for anything in quite sometime. The summer after the Redhawks/89ers left, the Fair Grounds tried to use it as an amphitheater, renaming it State Fair Amphitheater, but that really never worked out. The site lines just weren't great, and the facility just wasn't in good shape even then.

Sure, I had many great memories in that ballpark, but the structure itself wasn't really any prize! Having it come down won't be a big loss.

From what the fair director has told me, the area will be leveled out and paved for parking.
