The toilets near the dugouts at Las Vegas' Cashman Field "backed up and exploded" last Aug. 22, according to a newspaper report, perhaps shining a light on how much the Mets' Triple-A club needs a new ballpark.
That day was "ugly," said Don Logan, the president and COO of the Las Vegas 51s, the Mets' highest minor-league affiliate. "The ballpark keeps deteriorating and the sewer backing up was the culminating point. It was the last Saturday (home game of the season) and we had a big crowd and that exacerbated the sewer problems. It was terrible."
It's part of the reason why the Pacific Coast League's commissioner is wondering if Cashman Field can continue for long as an AAA ballpark, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
