Cubs To Remain In Arizona For Spring Training

Something to think about with a winter storm bearing down on the Heartland. There are only 68 days (as of Wednesday Jan. 27) until the Cardinals open the 2010 season in Cincinnati. Ahh....can't wait!

The Cardinals top rival, the Chicago Cubs, announce Wednesday day they will remain in Mesa, Arizona for spring training instead of making a move to Naples, Florida.

The cubs have agreed to negotiate exclusively with Mesa on the construction of a new spring-training facility. Plans call for Mesa to build an $84 million stadium and training facility for the Cubs. The team would stay in Arizona for at least another 25 years but the deal requires approval from the Arizona Legislature and voters.
