One question city leaders had was if the region could support their own minor league ball team, and the consultants believe it can.
The firm also presented a letter written by Miles Wolff, commissioner for the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, who wrote the city would be "a tremendously attractive spot for a ball park." He said he visited Fort Smith on December 2, and they were very interested in locating there if the city built a stadium.
The city says this is a big step, but still a first step. They'll now have architects draw up a concept for a stadium and figure out a price, so they can make the next of many tough decisions.
