Study finds Prospect Meadows proposal feasible

CEDAR RAPIDS — An independent third-party survey of Prospect Meadows has found the proposed 17-field baseball and softball complex in Linn County to be feasible and likely to succeed.A Sports Facilities Advisory report of the Prospect Meadows Ball Fields proposal, requested earlier this year by the Linn County Board of Supervisors and presented last week to the board, found that concession sales and commitments from Perfect Game and Game Day USA make the project “feasible and demonstrates a strong likelihood for success.”Dawn Jindrich, Linn County budget director, said the inclusion of Perfect Game, a baseball scouting service in Cedar Rapids, and event-management company Game Day USA of Naperville, Ill., played a critical role in Prospect Meadows’ projected success.Officials last year said the two organizations had booked a collective 1,800 teams per year for the ball fields.“What this facility has is Perfect Game and Gameday USA, and that makes a big difference, which makes them more likely to be prosperous,” Linn County Budget Director Dawn Jindrich said to the board last week.The project — to be located at County Home Road and Highway 13, north of Marion — would be built in two phases.
