El Paso Inc.: Big Council vote on stadium Sept. 11; PCL’s Rickey: ‘We believe in El Paso’

That’s when El Paso City Council is expected to consider the long-term lease of the City Hall and Insights Museum site to MountainStar Sports Group, where a baseball stadium would be built for the Triple-A El Paso Padres.
