Grand Teton

The Washington Post reports that the Trump administration is considering building a baseball park in Grand Teton National Park. Major League Baseball contacted the administration about hosting a game in a national park, and an agency official scouted Grand Teton as a possible location. The idea has drawn attention because of concerns over developing infrastructure on protected federal land.

Reports are circulating that Major League Baseball has been scouting Grand Teton as a potential stadium location, a surprising choice given the area is a national park in Wyoming with no professional baseball franchise nearby. If accurate, it would mark an unprecedented attempt to place a big-league ballpark on protected federal land, and the claim is drawing attention from baseball fans and conservation-minded readers alike.
