Minor league stadium proposal a hit with Burnsville
City leaders said they like the idea, but they warned developers to cover all their bases. A $27 million proposal to bring minor league baseball to Burnsville with a historic Twin Cities team and a new stadium met with guarded enthusiasm from city leaders, who will be asked to put taxpayer money behind the idea. On Tuesday night, the City Council got a first look at sketch plans of a 7,300-seat stadium for the Metro Millers on 18 acres of a former dump near the intersection of Interstate 35W and Hwy. 13. The concept would revive a team that folded when the Twins moved to Minneapolis in 1961 and bring the independent Northern League back to the metro area after the St. Paul Saints joined the American Association in 2005.
