I know that most people have other pressing concerns in light of the COVID-19 virus that has disrupted many aspects of our lives but take a moment to share this page with your Fort Worth family and friends.

This stadium has been a part of our community for almost 90 years and I believe that its fate should be decision left up to the Fort Worth area community. If you believe that this stadium should be saved or, at the very least, believe that there should be some sort of community discussion regarding its future, please do what you can to get the word out.

Bids for the iconic Farrington Field could come later this year.
