I could see the baseball folk being a tad upset with that. But is baseball even considered a sport anymore with all of that standing around?
Or what about the very SE corner of Shouldice. Use those 2 soccer fields to create the soccer version of Hellard. The loss of one pitch would be made up for by having a good artificial surface that can be utilized way more than a grass pitch (no need to rest the pitch for general fatigue, no rain cancellations, etc.). Expand that little parking lot at the bottom of Home Road as well.
I know that many despise plastic pitches, but it is a smart choice for this climate and would be well utilized. Of course, this couldn't happen overnight and would require the cooperation of the City, Foothills, etc.
