Missoula Baseball Advocates outline plans for Major League Baseball return

The Missoula Baseball Advocates held a meeting on January 30, 1991, to discuss their ongoing efforts to bring Major League Baseball back to Missoula. Bill Lisonbee, the chairman of the group, opened the meeting by acknowledging the lower-than-expected turnout due to recent events in the Middle East. He emphasized the committee's willingness to present their findings and engage with the public, despite the circumstances.

Lisonbee explained that the Missoula Baseball Advocates was formed in May 1990, following a call from the mayor's office to gather individuals interested in revitalizing baseball in the area. The committee has since organized into three subcommittees, each tasked with specific duties related to the project.

The primary goals of the meeting included outlining the committee's progress, sharing interim conclusions, and discussing future steps. Lisonbee stressed the importance of community involvement, stating that the process would remain open and inclusive to all interested parties. The committee aims to ensure that they are engaging with the community effectively as they move forward with their plans.

The next public meeting is scheduled for January 30, where the committee hopes to provide further updates and gather additional input from the community.
