Trump administration considers building baseball park in Grand Teton National Park: Washington Post
MLB has explored a national park game as the idea remains in early discussion and a new site may not open until at least 2028, officials said.
- On Saturday, Major League Baseball officials confirmed to The Washington Post they approached the Trump administration about constructing a baseball stadium in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park.
- The league has expanded its use of unique single-game sites over the past decade, including events at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, and the Bristol Motor Speedway.
- Critics quickly condemned the idea; former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance responded "no" to reports, while photographer Rich Roman wrote on X, "Leave Grand Teton, and all National Parks, alone!"
- The White House distanced itself from the project, stating, "This is not a Presidential directive, nor is it being directed by the White House. It's also not being driven by the Department of Interior."
- Skepticism surrounds the proposal due to the National Park Service managing a deferred maintenance backlog estimated at $30 billion while facing scrutiny for diverting more than $323 million from park funds.
