ORLANDO, Fla. — Southern Christian Leadership Conference representatives announced that they are upset with plans by the city of Orlando to demolish the grandstands at Tinker Field.
City officials said renovating the rundown grandstands would cost $10 million, according to a letter obtained Thursday by Channel 9.
According to the letter, a recommendation will be made to the Orlando City Council on Monday to demolish the stands, but preserve the ball field for use in community events and add a historic marker on the site.
