EVERETT — The City
Council unanimously approved creating a new committee Wednesday to conduct
in-depth research and advise city leaders
Three options are on the
table:
1) upgrade the current Funko Field,
2) demolish and build a new stadium on the current property,
or
3) construct a new stadium downtown near the Angel of the
Winds Arena.
Everett needs
significant upgrades to meet the new MLB standards. The city would be at risk
of losing the minor league team if efforts to upgrade the stadium aren’t well
underway by 2025.
The project could cost
between $40 million and $80 million, according to figures presented by an
outside consultant hired to work on the project.
