The records contained here are all from 1995 (except for one 1994 piece of correspondence); thus, they are concerned with the Miller Park creation process during the period of major debate over public financing of the stadium. They were drawn from the subject files of the Department of Administration and reflect the involvement of the state government in planning and funding the new park. The file is a small but interesting example of the complex relationship in the United States between state and local governments on the one hand, and professional sports on the other.
