Major League Baseball says improvements must be made to keep Coca-Cola Park, home of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, from shutting down.
Allentown City Council abruptly reversed a plan to help fund renovations at Coca-Cola Park, the home of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.The fate of the Phillies minor league ballpark, and the future of the team, is in limbo.
"When it comes to our community, we need to take care of ourselves," Affa said. "We need infrastructure. We need homeless shelters. We need police officers. I think this money should be spent on us." "We're going to be looking back in a year and a half from now and the IronPigs will be closing up shop as the Phillies win a World Series, we are going to be the council and the administration that lost the IronPigs, and that's going to be our legacy," Siegel said.
