More than likely it will turn into more student housing 

Or an extension of Columbus Park.

One of the two I'm sure but not right away. They will have a Single A tenant for a year or two until they finally close shop.

When they get the single A team local politicians will claim they saved baseball in Binghamton.

Just watch.

I simply wonder if baseball as a sport isn't dying a slow death? Our local stadium attendance sure would point in that direction. Maybe just not exciting enough for today's programed thrill a minute video game society?

And to further that possibilty, when was the last time (pre pandemic) anyone passed a park and witnessed a non organizational or non sponsored simple game of pickup hardball? 

As a boomer, I can most certainly remember when it really was considered America's Pastime. Couldnt wait to get to the park every hot summer day. Everyone had a favorite team and knew all of the players & positions.  Also remember playing a game called "scrub" biding the time until enough players showed up to field two teams for a game...which usually happened.  The World Series and little transistor radios smuggled into school....time brings change..jest sayin.

I've only been to that stadium twice for a sporting event.  The first was around a dozen years ago.

The second was last August. What I attended was three hours of commercials, briefly and occasionally interrupted by a baseball game.

Yes, I know they need advertising and sponsorship to help pay the bills.  But there is limit that, when reached and exceeded, becomes overkill. And like a hammer to the head, eventually you grow numb to it.

Every single second was sponsored by someone. But with the bad PA system, I couldn't always make out the ad, or the trivia question that was asked. Since there were so many ads, no one company stood out. It was like a giant queue of companies, and it was simply "Next, next, next, next, next . . . "

About the only thing not sponsored was the spitting and the crotch scratching.
