Murfreesboro city leaders are in talks to bring a Double-A baseball franchise to a downtown site. Organizers said that downtown, with its fast-changing landscape of new restaurants and small businesses, is the ideal location for a team in the expanding independent league American Association of Professional Baseball. “Downtown Murfreesboro has the infrastructure to handle parking requirements for evening and weekend events,” City Manager Craig Tindall said. “Downtown is ideal for such an entertainment attraction as we seek to revitalize the historic downtown and surroundings to make downtown a vital centerpiece of the city.” Last Thursday, developers of the Double-A franchise and the commissioner of the American Association, Josh Schaub, presented a proposal to the Murfreesboro City Council at a workshop meeting. Jason Rose, a principal of Rose+Allyn Public and Online Relations based in Scottsdale, Ariz., outlined plans for the team and league expansion. Rose is creator and owner of the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships. A non-binding memorandum of understanding outlines a potential timeline for professional baseball coming to Murfreesboro. The project will include a feasibility study for development of a sports facility and an economic impact study. mainstreetmediatn.com/articles/mainstreetnashville/murfreesboro-may-become-a-pro-baseball-city/#:~:text=Murfreesboro%20city%20leaders%20are%20in%20talks%20to%20bring,expanding%20independent%20league%20American%20Association%20of%20Professional%20Baseball.
