Last week media reported that Érick Arellano will become president of Mazatlán’s new Liga Mexicana de Beisbol baseball team to be called Club Marineros which will play during the summer months beginning 2016. At the time of the announcement, Arellano stated his club is interested in participating in the construction of a new baseball stadium in the port.

Asked by reporters about the new stadium yesterday, Governor Mario Lòpez Valdez said there have been no advances in construction.

What we have now, said the Governor, is a completed executive project and a proposal by a local group of businessmen for its possible construction. The project is viable, he said, but with the sale of Grupo Modelo who were to be in charge of the new stadium, the project has come to a standstill.

No New Baseball Stadium, says Governor

Culiacán: Sinaloa Governor Mario López Valdez said yesterday that following the sale of grupo Modelo there will be no new baseball stadium in Mazatlán.
He told media the land for the stadium located beside the Convention Center in the Marina had already been purchased but with the sale of the company the philosophy had changed.
The Governor said he also understood Mazatlán’s Venados baseball team was to be sold and depending on the new owners they would see (if the project would continue).
