To clarify, I agree that the Goldeye's park has been a great boost for the downtown. It's also quite a beautiful ballpark, compared to similar sized parks in other cities or in the Northern League.
What I was saying was more the type of typical fans that come on out to a Goldeye's game, vs. a down-and-dirty Bombers or Jets game. It's a much more suburbanite, Sunday School teaching, children's face painting, green grass obsessed, Robert Redford loving, well groomed poodle back at home crowd.
In other words, what I assume to be typical Katz voters!
