City of League City staff, Big League Dreams representatives, and community leaders joined together at the city's recreation center on Tuesday for the groundbreaking ceremony that officially marked the beginning of construction for the Big League Dreams Sports Park. "I can't begin to say what a phenomenal thing it is to partner with Big League Dreams on this project," said Mayor Jeff Harrison at the ceremony. The $13 million facility is the first major tourist destination for League City. The park is comprised of six replicas of major sports stadiums, including Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Crosley Field, Ebbets Field, and Sportsman's Field. There also will be a skate park in the facility. "I think everybody can see that we have a very special project here," said Monica Kohlenberg, the city's Finance Director and staff lead on the project. "This is a landmark day," said Don Webber, vice president of development for the California-based Big League Dreams organization. "League City will have the first Big League Dreams outside of California." The park is scheduled for completion February 1, 2005.
