Everett approves new committee to spearhead AquaSox stadium upgrade

EVERETT — The City Council unanimously approved creating a new committee Wednesday to conduct in-depth research and advise city leaders on upgrading or building a new Everett AquaSox stadium.

The other goal of the new fiscal advisory committee — made up of nine unpaid appointees — is to communicate with taxpayers about the process.

At the end of November, the council unanimously authorized the mayor to sign contracts worth $1.1 million with two contractors to further investigate either upgrading or building a new AquaSox baseball stadium, to meet new Major League Baseball standards.

Three options are on the table: upgrade the current Funko Field, demolish and build a new stadium on the current property or construct a new stadium downtown near the Angel of the Winds Arena.
