Just got wind of a news story at www.corussports.com/lbeq/nouveau_stade_baseball_dans-20090203-1397513.html
The article is in French but basically, the director of Baseball Quebec wants to build a stadium in Montreal that would be used as a training center. He's pushing hard for one and plans to talk to a government official.
He sees this stadium having 4000 to 5000 seats and cost $15 to $20 million. Part of the plan would be to use it for a Can-Am team.
He has talked to major leaguers and Montreal natives Éric Gagné and Russell Martin and they are willing to lend a hand and their names to help this cause.
One idea is to turn the old site used by the Montreal Impact soccer team (they now play in a new stadium) into a baseball stadium. The location would be ideal and is apparently available.
