Tucson hopes to hold on to D-Backs, Rockies

Spring training could have a future in Tucson after all.
Southern Arizona leaders are working on legislation that would let Pima County voters decide if they want to raise sales taxes to build a new stadium and spend money renovating the existing homes of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.
The move comes in response to the Chicago White Sox departing this spring for a new stadium near Glendale. Executives for the remaining teams have said they don't want to stay in the Old Pueblo if they are the only squads in southern Arizona, and both squads are considering proposals from communities near Phoenix.
