Padres change plans in midstream
When the San Diego Padres were getting voter approval for a publicly funded new stadium in 1998, they promised to surround it with low-rise buildings and a public park. Now the team says those plans are "no longer viable in today's real estate market," according to the San Diego Union-Tribune, and wants to scale down the park and build a 22-story office tower beyond the right field wall. Local property owner Bud Fischer, who had two parcels of land taken by eminent domain for the project, called the change in plans a "travesty."
