Will the Trump administration permit a Major League Baseball team to build a park in the Grand Tetons National Park?
The idea sounds crazy until you remember that Trump built an Ultimate fighting arena on the White House lawn so he could see several matches without having to travel.
Major League Baseball has approached the Trump administration about hosting a game at a national park, officials from the White House and MLB confirmed Saturday.
The administration has scouted locations in Grand Teton National Park to build a baseball park to host an MLB game, according to two other people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Grand Teton is the country’s eighth-most visited national park and is famous for its breathtaking views of the Teton Range of the Rocky Mountains. National parks are among the country’s most protected federal lands, and constructing a sports facility at Grand Teton could set a new precedent for the use of vast national park land in the Western United States.
I love baseball and Grand Teton. Let’s build a waterfall in Yankee stadium.

Mar-a-Lago was swamp land before it was built. Let’s return that land to what it was before.

This is another bad idea brought to us by the man that has no taste or morals. Not everything on the planet is here to be exploited and monetized. Some things are here to appreciate and enjoy like nature. Teddy Roosevelt is turning over in his grave.

Brings to mind a line from an old ’60s song: “They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot”.

This is a dumb idea on so many levels. Wouldn’t you want to build a baseball stadium near, or even in, a population center, major city, town, whatever? Not the wilderness.

Trump doesn’t care as long as someone bribes him a lot of money. Trump is using the presidency for profit. Everything the US government controls and even stuff it doesn’t is for sale.
The bribe is laundered in some way through middlemen, et al, and that triggers another Executive Order like this one:
“Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14285, titled “Unleashing America’s Offshore Critical Minerals and Resources,” on April 24, 2025, directing federal agencies to fast-track permits for commercial deep-sea mining on the ocean floor. The directive instructs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Department of the Interior (DOI) to streamline exploration and recovery approvals within U.S. territorial waters and in international territories. [1, 2, 3]”
I wonder how much the laundered bribe was for that one.

Everything is for sale, including pardons and deregulation.
Want to drill for oil in the Grand Canyon?
Want to open up the land in other national parks for exploration?
The price is right.

Major League Baseball is attempting shoot-yourself-in-the-foot. There are glaciers in Teton. The optics of bulldozers and generators and glitzy pro athletes out there would be horrible for the game. It would be a disgusting sight, downright un-American. What a mess it would be for baseball.

This administration is trying to ruin our national parks. They are stupid. Oil drilling in Grand Canyon is next.

Trump will sell the Grand Canyon to housing developers so they can build condos, golf courses, and fast food franchises over the canyon after they span it with a concrete roof and built on top of that. The name will be changed to Trump Canyon Resorts. What was the Grand Canyon will become the biggest sewer dump in the world under that roof.

Every time I leave a comment using my iMac, WordPress makes me log back in. Every time.
I don’t have to do that on the Microsoft Lenovo, which isn’t even turned on this early in the morning. I prefer using the iMac most of the time. The Lenovo is supposed to be my backup desktop.
