Government weighs building baseball facility in Grand Teton National Park
“National Park Service Deputy Director Frank Lands visited Grand Teton National Park this week and looked at three potential locations for a baseball park within the park’s boundaries” WTF 🤬 www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
Myrajessica214Any baseball team that agrees to desecrate the Grand Tetons should be boycotted forever.
Milly Dogood111Man sees a mountain untouched for ten million years and immediately wonders where to put the Jumbotron. Good People, we preserved these lands so that future generations might enjoy them, though apparently no one specified without a seventh-inning stretch.
OBG49If you build it, they won't come. The nearest town has 10k people.
Dogs Hate DOGE43Up next: Cornhole tournament to be held at Arlington Cemetery
gcm5.bsky.social40Stay the fuck away from our national treasures. Jeez. There’s no need for any baseball games in any national parks. Period. End of discussion.
EB Estes31I have no words for how dumb an idea this is
Thomas Long12If you build it, they won’t come. Because it’s in the middle of fucking nowhere you morons.
A. Torch11The insanity continues, but realize there are collaborators who must be purged, too.
rainette-3.bsky.social5"Le directeur adjoint du Service des parcs nationaux, Frank Lands, s'est rendu cette semaine au parc national de Grand Teton et a examiné trois emplacements potentiels pour un stade de baseball à l'intérieur des limites du parc."
Patt Morrison4Let's see what you're made of, #Wyoming .
SABUCH4What the actual fuck! Stop ruining our state & national parks!
Lorna MacGillivray4They truly are entitled scum.
Sarah Primate2This is just gross. Maddening. I want off of this planet.
1stBascombe2Rump just wants to phuck up this country sa much as possible while he can. It isn't just treason, it's revenge for America choosing Biden.
Tis' Pookie, Immaculate Sister of the Butter Knife2Laughable, I don't think America realises how we all do a collective shake of our heads whenever there's a new atrocious decision by officials in the Fat Orange Dickface's Government. This one is a right up there with drinking bleach to cure Covid.
@Thadd1950.bsky.social2Katie-vote blue and impeach Trump
As a lifelong baseball fan, can I say: this is a truly bad idea. Fenway Park is for baseball, Teton Park is for wildlife www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
DebT7Wrong in every way. The first time I saw the Tetons, many years ago, they looked almost unreal to me they were so beautiful rising up from the valley floor. Mother Nature made a masterpiece. Don’t fuck with it, fat orange bald guy.
Sylvia Bullett6Project 2025 calls for nixing national parks
Ali Adair6What is their problem?!? 🤪

Dave Wenning4The man simply can't stop looking for nice things that he can ruin.
Blake Brown2People are going to make it hell for whoever wants to try and take up Trump's plans and build in our national parks. It should be our duty as Americans to destroy any enterprise that does it. Fuck these greedy scumbags.
JUST IN: Trump administration considers building a BASEBALL STADIUM inside Grand Teton National Park. Not near it. INSIDE it. Home to grizzlies, wolves, bison, elk, pronghorn — untouched wilderness since 1929. MLB reached out to the www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
Carolyn Barber, MD4administration asking to host a "Field of Dreams"-style game. A National Park Service official already scouted THREE sites this week. One local advocate called the whole idea "ludicrous. Crazy. Ridiculous. I mean, I just can't fathom." No permits yet. No decision made. This is OUR land. Not a
Sandy1I'm not sure they want a stadium, but that's besides the point- this is beyond stupid and a desecration of a beautiful area.
quackerz.bsky.social1I bet MLB would think twice if there were huge protests threatening to boycott baseball if they touch Grand Teton.
The Trump administration is considering building a baseball park in Grand Teton National Park at the request of MLB, per @washingtonpost.com.
Dr. John the Day Tripper38So MLB is actually a soulless Trump-sucking money machine, got it.
Okay, so about that…32But why though? Wyoming and the surrounding states do not have the population to support MLB so just a seasonal event driven stadium? Horrible NPS ROI on that… So annual event that’d ruin the landscape? The lights would be terrible for the animals - this is just an instantly stupid idea
a weird cupcake13That’s not real. MLB didn’t ask anyone for a park in Grand Teton. Nobody lives there. Someone in the regime made that up as a troll and/or a smokescreen for yet another money laundering scheme and no one questioned it because journalism is a dead profession.
Infynyty8Gd.Every idea they have is worse than the last.
Rohan (रोहन)5Permanently ruining the landscape for all 30 of the baseball fans who live there?
Karma's Dad3MLB is willing to destroy the pristine beauty of Grand Teton NP to juice sales and profits. MLB is dead to me. Not another dime.
Cooper Lund59Fuck this, build a replica of the Polo Grounds in Central Park and do the Subway Series there instead
Jay Jaffe37And that’s how we all found out Rob Manfred follows my account…
Chicken Puppet 🏳️⚧️12Kids, let's go to the Grand Tetons this Summer "Ugh, boring, we never do anything fun" Kids, let's go to the Grand Tetons this Summer, to see Alec Burleson! "Yay! This is like 10 trips to Disneyworld!"
Nathan HawkBlogger8This is IP infringement The Light Bat’s legal department is exploring all options for recourse and potential damages against the Trump Administration.
Conor McGovern7Ok leaving aside the wanton and pointless destruction of pristine wilderness, the park factors here would be incredibly stupid
tami7“if you build it they will come” but for grizzlies and pissed off moose
dr peppermint patty6why stop there? why not build a baseball park on the rim of a volcano? why not push aroldis chapman into the volcano? why not the moon
Rams and Hoosiers6This should straight up cost them the anti-trust exemption.
The Detroiter4What fucking weird ass timeline is this
A Genuine Catfish4Who is asking for this? Where's Pablo Torre?
SRSLY. "According to the Post, the Trump administration is considering constructing a baseball stadium in Grand Teton National Park, one of the country’s most-visited national parks that sits in the Rocky Mountains in northwest Wyoming." www.rawstory.com/national-par...
PortiaMcGonagal15You can "thank" MLB for the idea and the WTF. "Major League Baseball has approached the Trump administration about hosting a game at a national park, officials from the White House and MLB confirmed Saturday." Archived WaPo link: archive.ph/NmyPo#select...
Sean Herrala, Quinquagenarian12"If you build it, you are dumb."
OldDominionBlue 💛🐝🌻🪷🟦🇺🇦6And who’s going to fill it up? The entire population of Jackson Hole is like maybe 15,000 people. This really is the stupidest timeline ever.
Horseshoe Theory Enthusiast5He really digs deep to figure out what would be the most obnoxious shit he can do that will offend the largest number of people at once
annabellelecter.bsky.social3He's just going to keep building ugly monstrosities while Republicans sit back and allow it because they are too scared to say no.
Mac8I live and breathe baseball, and I say this with every iota of my soul: ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT. Are MLB owners not greedy enough already?? To say nothing of giving the current President any additional dumbass ideas.
MB Brown5JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THESE FUCKERS MUST BE STOPPED! FUCKING BASEBALL OWNERS WANT THIS *AND* A FUCKING LOCKOUT? Goddamn them all, owners, commissioner, Department of the Interior, Donald, the enablers, voters, non-voters. Goddamn you all.
John Andreini5How long are we going to allow Trump to destroy this country? We can stop it, but we have to get up and act. Not for one day, not for a week, but for as long as it takes to restore democracy.
Mizzoh4I ♥️ baseball. FUCK THIS, assholes.
Barefoot Lentil2they won't be happy unless they can profit off EVERYTHING. Everything. National parks/wildlife refuges, etc. to them are just empty land that cost a lot to keep that way. So they want to exploit the resources, eliminate the animals, and stuff them full of hotels, casinos, stadiums, shopping, etc.
Scouting Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park for an MLB ballpark tests the core mission of protected federal lands. As the NPS reviews three sites for Major League Baseball amid a Yosemite road swap, the National Park Service risks setting a precedent that trades conservation for commercial use.
Terri from Colorado11Sure. The boys of summer are going to play for two weeks waiting for the temps to get over 60. At the foot of a fourteener. The federal register comments are going to be lit. My usual go to comment is you've obviously never been to Wyoming. 🙄
Sandy6Joni Mitchell lyrics come to mind: "They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot."
Kim3This would have been an article in the Onion if we had a Democrat in the White House. DAMN EVERY TRUMP VOTER
guidegroup.bsky.social43Insane. They wake-up every morning asking "What is the most outrageously, unnecessarily, offensive thing we can do today?"
Jennifer Schell8If you really want to have MLB in a national park, name one of the existing older stadiums (Fenway) a national historic site. Easy easy. No construction. No transpo issues (except existing ones). No ruining ecosystems.
[sad beep] acerbic otter3We really did speedrun "Idiocracy"
Delilah Avalon🏳️⚧️2Fuck MLB and their playoffs then.
Ruth Baader-Meinhof2Americans will see landscapes like this and be like "you know what would be great here? a parking lot."
"It is irreplaceable... the idea that we would put a baseball stadium in Grand Teton National Park is just -- what would the word be? -- ludicrous. Crazy. Ridiculous. I mean, I just can’t fathom." -NPCA's Betsy Buffington www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Patrick2WTAF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!? They just have to FCK WITH “stuff”? I mean have they ever even ACTUALLY VISITED a #NationalPark? ( At the gates to Yellowstone, *flash* “NEED A ARBEYS HERE!”)

defeline.bsky.social2They can consider all they want. But the Grand Tetons and the natural beauty there are irreplaceable! Fuck Off Trump administration!
