  1. As a North Main Street area resident of over 60 years , I find it very offensive to change our historic North Main Street to another name !
    Shame on you !

    • I agree. It seems the Weinzaphel Ford Center debacle will weigh heavy on the Evansville citizens for decades to come. Do you remember how Lloyd Jr. was impugned and derided for wanting a multi-purpose baseball field/arena down by Casino Aztar during the election, especially by Weinzaphel and his major backer, the Courier and Press? It would have brought Triple-A back to Evansville and kept Roberts Stadium alive. Instead we have a huge “green space” benefiting nobody and a millstone on MLK around the neck of a financially sinking city.

  2. Hopefully we will have an honest mayor,our last two sucked,only a handful of people wanted the ford center,yet the politician wanted it because he wanted to run for governor and he needed to create his war chest

  3. Where is it documented that a Triple A Club was willing to relocate if Evansville would build that Stadium downtown? That is BS, and you know it. That ship sailed for a Community our size many moons ago. I for one, would have loved the Stadium built downtown. It would be great if we could have a Double A or Single A club in our town. That is what we should be looking to attract.
