Finding a location for Challenger Baseball to build its complex just got a little more complicated, with the Venice Vikings Pop Warner football organization weighing in on the controversy.
The Vikings organization is gathering signatures on a petition opposed to the alternate site approved by Venice City Council for Challenger’s handicapped-accessible baseball fields in Wellfield Park.
