		<description><![CDATA[May 6, 2010&#8230; I read in the New York Times Friday that plans are being formulated to redo Progressive Field. Who knew? A Gateway official says, however, that there is no big redo coming. Further, at this point, both teams leasing sports facilities are responsible for capital improvements. But don’t you know that it is [...]]]></description>
