SUGAR LAND, TEXAS — Opening Day Partners and the Sugar Land City Council will bring a $30 million minor league baseball stadium to Sugar Land, and it will open just in time for the 2012 season. In a Letter of Intent, Opening Day says it will sign a 20-year lease on the stadium with a 10-year renewal option. While a site has yet to be selected, potential locations include the interchange of U.S. Highway 59 and University Boulevard. In the offseason, the stadium will be used for concerts and other events. Funding for the project will come from sales tax revenues and a $5 million investment from Opening Day.
