Grizzlies future in Fresno still uncertain
Fresno Diamond
Group and Fresno
City Council are still
negotiating on
Grizzlies future
by John Sanders
Staff Writer
Fresno wants outdoor aoncerts. interna
tional soccer and Fresno Grizzlies baseball
There's only one problem: Where are these
exciting events going to take place?
Ask lohn Carbray. president and CEO of
the Fresno Grizzlies and die Fresno Diamond
Group, and he'll say at a $28 million stadium
that is in progress
However, the Fresno City Council has yet
to approve the idea Last fall the council voted
4-3 against building a new stadium at Tulare
Street and Broadway in Fresno
But Council Member Ken Steitz is opu
mistic that a stadium deal may he put together
this year Meanwhile, the Grizzlies will play
AAA baseball at Fresno State's Beiden Field
"Hopefully a deal can be made by opening day (of the 1998 season)." Steitz said "I
even have season tickets and I want to see base
ball in Fresno "
Carbray. also is hoping that a deal can be
made in the near future However, in a Friday
interview with a Fresno radio station, he said
that West Sacramento is interested in the Gnz
zlies and that he has had no talks with Fresno
officials since last fall
When the council voted "no" on the stadium in Fresno, Carbray said he received numerous calls from other cities offering to build
a stadium
"If we only have one year here it will be
one great year." Carbray said "1 think the sue
cess we will have will convince people that they
should not let this get away "
"The community deserves more facilities
than what it has right now If we d
AAA baseball in town or
guest would be the only sport in town would
be gambling on what light was going to turn
red. yellow or green "
Financial concerns help explain why the
Fresno Oiy Council rejected a new stadium
last October, according to Steitz and Council
Member Chris Mathys assistant. Dave
Snelling That stadium was to cost more
$20 million The city was to pay $2.5 million
a year for 30 years Each year, the Grizzlies
were to reimburse the city SI 9 million, leaving the city with a net yearly outlay of
$600,000 Some council members worried that
taxpayers would be left holding the bag if the
Grizzlies drew poorly or if they moved to an
other city
"The taxpayers were solely at risk." Steitz
said Ifthe Grizzlies had a bad year, there'
no guarantee that they could pay the $1 9
million back "
Another major problem, according
to Snelling. was that Mathys wanted to
do a background check on Cartway's
credit Carbray reportedly felt insulted
While the Grizzlies debate their future home, the team, a farm club of the
San Francisco (imnts, will open the season April 7
Fifteen years ago. Carbray started a
business that dealt with concerts that followed
sporting events This business was based in San
lose, but Carbray felt that Fresno was more
marketable So Carbray moved his business.

realize that the Grizzlies are going to bring in
a lot of money, then they wilt change their
minds aboat building a stadium

Carbray said "Basically it's one hit away from
It Park"

and you could watch the same guy pitch for
