Something almost beyond belief is going to happen this afternoon.
First off, it is going to happen in Chester.
Second, a Democratic governor and Republican state senator will stand side by side and announce an agreement to chip in $45 million in state funding to build a stadium not far from where they are preening for the cameras on the waterfront.
That stadium in turn is going to be used to lure a Major League Soccer franchise to play its games in Chester.
We’ll have more thoughts on this tomorrow.
For now, we’re just trying to wipe the drool from our chins.
Yes, we were skeptical. Just as we were the first time we heard of the possibility of a horse-racing facility being built in Chester.
That turned into Harrah’s Chester Casino & Racetrack.
Now, just about a good horse race length down Route 291, a stadium likely soon will rise.
We can only mimic the words of the immortal Richie Ashburn: “Hard to believe, Harry.”
