Why wouldn’t it be in Rockford? Seems like an easy decision to me

I support "A Place of Their Own" as it will be a place for youth and teens to have hands-on learning of baseball as well as preserving the history of Women's Baseball. Marcia

This will be a huge boost to preserve the unique history of Rockford and women’s baseball. It will be an unprecedented economic boon to all of Northern Illinois and the area surrounding Beyer Field. The youth center will provide much needed recreational opportunities for the area. We cannot let an opportunity like this slip through our fingers!

My dad took me to Beyer Stadium to watch the Peaches play! How exciting to have the Museum here where it belongs!

This is a home run for Rockford—an international organization that connects our city’s history with the needs of present-day residents and a vision for the future of the Forest City.

I'm surprised something like this doesn't exist already, anywhere. As a father to two sports-minded daughters, I welcome this initiative. Make it happen!

Let’s make it happen for the neighborhood. This is so needed for at-risk youth that need a place to grow and be inspired. We tell them anything is possible. Let’s make this possible.

Let’s celebrate those before us and create a place for those after us. It’s time!
