Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs Stadium Announcement

Dateline: Bethlehem, PA, 1/28/08: The Iron Pig Press is pleased to announce that construction of the new ballpark for the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs is nearly complete. Amazingly, the project is under budget and ahead of schedule which allows management to focus their efforts on fielding a competitive team for the coming season. The new stadium will be pitcher friendly with outfield dimensions that were commented on by Matt Holliday as "Holy cow skipper, you expect me to run that far? I would rather go back to the minors and play at Coors Field!" The new stadium will be called The Pig Pen. Other names that were considered were "BALCO Field", "Slap Hitting Sissy Stadium" and "The Hog Sty". After polling the fan, The Pig Pen was settled on as being the classiest of the choices. Look for further updates as construction progresses.
