Parkersburg wants to talk Frontier League

Parkersburg, W.Va., officials are planning a series of meetings to gaugue the area's interest in building a ballpark and bringing a Frontier League team back to the city.

Parkersburg was home to the Ohio Valley Redcoats for the league's first six seasons (1993-98) at Bennett Stump Field, which was basically a high school field. By 1998, Parkerburg was the smallest market in the league and was last in attendance in 1997 and '98. The Redcoats moved to Huntingburg, Ind.

  1. I would love to see a little eastern expansion considering how far west the league has moved the past decade.
