"An essential resource for anyone interested in how the minor leagues work. . . . If there can be such a thing as Bull Durham or Field of Dreams for economic developers, this is it." -- Jerry Klinkowitz, former executive secretary, Waterloo Diamonds, and editor of Writing Baseball
"Should be required reading for any community interested in minor league baseball or the construction or financing of a stadium. The book is full of examples of what to expect, what to avoid, and what to do." -- Michael J. Haupert, Nine: A Journal of Baseball History and Social Policy Perspectives
"Demonstrates the need for partnership between private and public sectors in the planning, development, and use of franchises and stadiums to support community economic growth and urban renewal. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal
"A must for local officials, economic developers, and planners looking at the possibility of hosting a minor league franchise." -- F. D. Handler, Choice
