Skybox dispute stalls stadium work at Harry Grove
Keys minor league baseball owners pledged to fund 18 skyboxes and parts of the expanded facilities at Harry Grove Stadium but halted work after city demand to pay a $696,200 bill. Officials say taxpayers won’t cover the costs while the owners cite a $133,000 added due to contract rules as the reason for seeking city help. The row follows high attendance and projected $10,000 rent per skybox to offset costs.
