Is minor league baseball one step closer to coming to Bowling Green?

The Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerece is hosting a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for a new minor league baseball stadium.

The 4,000-seat stadium will be built between Seventh and Eighth Avenues and Kentucky Street. A nearly 800-space parking garage is also slated to be built.

The groundbreaking comes on the heels of news that the owner Columbus Catfish, a Class A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, is working on a deal to relocate the team to Bowling Green, according to OurSportsCentral.com. Columbus currently plays in the South Atlantic League, which also has the Lexington Legends as a member.

It would be good news for baseball fans in western Kentucky if it comes to fruition.
