Cleveland Indians Leaving Winter Haven - Part 8

The Part 8 is a joke, but it seems that this story is an everlasting saga. NBC Channel 3 in Cleveland reports that Goodyear AZ has approved a user agreement with the Indians:
Under the agreement the Indians would pay a $100,000 a year lease for 20 years to use the stadium and practice fields for Spring Training. The agreement also includes two five-year renewal options.
The agreement also works out how profits will be divided between the Indians and the town of Goodyear.
Spring training games are expected to begin in Goodyear, Arizona in 2009. The Indians currently use facilities in Winter Haven, Florida.
Also today the Goodyear City Council made moves to secure the 75 acres and the $10 million dollars needed to build the stadium and related infrastructure.
