See, now, this is a tremendous idea:

A city businessman and a music enthusiast are proposing to develop a blues and jazz nightclub in a vacant warehouse opposite Clipper Magazine Stadium.

Named the Prince Street Blues & Jazz Club, the 500-seat club would open in early November. It would be a non-smoking facility operating Wednesdays through Sundays.

Piece later goes on to say the proposed club owners have promised the Barnstormers they wouldn’t have major acts the same night as ballgames; though it’d be ridiculously foolish not to have some sort of entertainment there on game nights. Imagine coming out of the stadium, 10 p.m., thinking about a nightcap - and right across the street is neon and live music. Parking might be an issue - but then, the answer there isn’t to restrict new enterprise. It’s to find/create some more parking - maybe on the site of the Lancaster Press Building, which seems to be going nowhere fast and is already owned by the city. To raze that place (yes yes, historical significance and blah blah) and put up a multi-story parking garage would help the Barnstormers, help the new blues club, help all the restaurants and everything else in the area.
