With new stadium site dormant, Potomac Nationals ‘in no danger of violating the agreement’

FREDERICKSBURG -- Although construction vehicles have yet to appear at the planned Fredericksburg Baseball stadium site, fans and residents have no reason to fear an Opening Day delay according to Fredericksburg’s Director of Economic Development and Tourism Bill Freehling.

“The team continues to make significant progress toward the beginning of construction work,” Freehling wrote in an email to Potomac Local. “They [Fredericksburg Baseball] hope to be underway early this summer.”

The site of the stadium, located directly next to the Fredericksburg Expo Center, sits vacant with trees, dirt, rocks and even a business sign that still need to be excavated when the team starts construction on the $35 million multi-purpose stadium. The only dirt that looks to have been moved at the site was during the groundbreaking ceremony held back in late Feb.
