PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Pawtucket Red Sox are still reviewing revised financing legislation for a proposed stadium in Rhode Island.
The legislation introduced Thursday in the Senate Finance Committee details $85 million as the top amount the Pawtucket Redevelopment Agency could bond. The deal continues to rely on an additional $12 million upfront payment from the Boston Red Sox Triple-A affiliate.
The PawSox said in a statement Monday that the team will take time to digest the proposed revisions. The team says it hopes partners and stakeholders understand the “delicate balance achieved” in the original agreement.
The PawSox say it’s concerned over some of the suggestions, but didn’t elaborate.
The team says the new ballpark can no longer be ready by April 2020, due to the time it’s taken to come to a decision.
