I believe the selling point behind the renovations, has to do with the MLB officially recognizing the Negro Leagues. I know Harold Reynolds has made a big push for the renovation and wants a "Field of Dreams" type of game held there.
I'm all for preserving the history of our game. Far too many stadiums have been destroyed and replaced. I think also today, many of the stadiums just don't have any character. New Yankee Stadium is a perfect example of this. Just a soulless, lifeless, corporate, graveyard.
