Dan Etna was quoted in the Worcester Business Journal discussing a trend toward stadiums becoming part of larger developments in minor and major league sports ventures. Etna spoke to this trend following the news of a stadium deal for the minor league baseball team, the PawSox, moving the organization from Pawtucket, Rhode Island to Worcester, Massachusetts. He stated, “In the last few years, it's not just about the ballpark — the ballpark is part of something larger. I do think Worcester has in its favor that it's part of a larger project."
