An unforeseen problem delays construction of Bowling Green's minor league baseball stadium.

Some confusion about sewer lines halts stadium construction, but the delay is only temporary.

The baseball stadium was scheduled to open in the spring of 2009, and despite some construction challenges those close to them are still optimistic.

"We are still on track to hopefully open the ball field and have games being played next spring," says Mary Cohron who has worked closely with the Downtown Bowling Green Redevelopment project, including a closer relationship with the city's minor league ball field.

She says updating an older city comes with its share of problems.

"Downtown Bowling Green is an old area that's been developed many different times and has gone through many different renovations," she explains. "So what happened in this case was, we thought there was a sewer line there on eighth that was not where we thought it was."

Contractors broke ground on the project last month, but some say construction has been stopped for more than two and a half weeks now.

Tommy Gumm is with Alliance Construction, the company in charge of building the stadium, and says despite the problem workers are moving forward.

"We had a little glitch with an unforeseen situation that resolved and we're ready to back to work," he says.

Those closest to the project assure WBKO that construction will resume and that minor delays won't hinder the outcome of the ballpark.

"I'd like to reassure the public that just because construction stops every now and again that there isn't a problem. That's sort of a natural happening in a project of this size," Cohron says.

Tommy Gumm with alliance construction tells us that crews will be back to work on the project tomorrow.
