WYCE's Community Connection (*conversations concerning issues of importance in West Michigan)

On the program this week, Phil Tower speaks with Paul Soltysiak - Vice-President and Co-Founder of Fans Of Valley Field, and Steve Tibbe - Chief Officer of Fans Of Valley Field.

Fans of Valley Field is a grassroots effort to restore and revitalize Sullivan Field (originally named Valley Field), a historic baseball field located on the West Side of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The field opened in 1937 on Grand Rapids’ west side.

The organization's long-term plan is to restore, revive, and give the historic ballpark a new sense of purpose through a coordinated effort between private and public partnerships.
