An attempt by Big League Dreams to prove its Gilbert facility is safe has appeared to backfire, with Gilbert’s attorney saying an engineering report from the company’s engineer meant nothing.
Paul Scott, a Phoenix engineer hired by the California company, performed “full‑scale load tests’’ on the columns that support the grandstands and “confirmed there are no actual safety concerns that could be identified.’’
But Robert Grasso, Gilbert’s attorney, was unimpressed, saying that Big League Dreams had not turned over the entire test results and that it did not address the outfield walls that Gilbert considers unsafe.
