Baseball organizers get piece of concession pie

The organizers of the World Junior Baseball championships are getting some of their wishes granted. The group spoke to council about the tournament in May and asked for a number of municipal favours. Thunder Bay city council is allowing them to collect 15 per cent of the concession revenues that would normally go into city coffers. However, council is not waiving rental fees for the Port Arthur Stadium and the cost of lighting for the tournament.
