"We look at it as nothing but a positive. It’s going to be great for us. It’s going to be great for a of other local businesses who have been really just trying to get by day-to-day making some tough decisions," said McGlone. "So we’re looking forward to having it and seeing what comes out of it."
He said, prior to COVID-19, foot ball and baseball games almost a guaranteed a boost in business. And while this year's series will be limited in ticket sales, it's still an announcement he welcomes.
"There was a lot of foot traffic and a lot of new customers coming by," he said. "That money goes a long way for the local community. All of our suppliers and vendors and partners, keeping people employed. It really is a positive.”
