The Generals announced plans to expand entertainment at the Ballpark for this summer and into next year.
State Rep. Chris Todd says the additional entertainment options at the Ballpark will help give the community more opportunity for entertainment.
“I think a lot of folks are excited about that. We missed last year, and I think folks are ready to get back out and enjoy some good baseball, and wrestling, and concerts, so there’s a lot of things planned for the Ballpark,” Todd said.
But the events are just the beginning.
After losing their major league affiliation, the Ballpark announced Thursday that they will still have baseball this summer.
