Default Fiesta Bowl Closing

Just heard tonight that Fiesta Bowl will close "for the summer" and may or may not reopen in Sept. Not sure of the reason but assume it has to be financial. Sad if it turns out to be true.

That place has had more closures than a zip, and yet it is still here.

Source?

They’re still in the middle of leagues. Closing now would be very messy.

"for the summer" sounds temporary to me. It's possible the closure is to renovate the place during a slower period of time.

Fiesta closing is scheduled for April 30th, after current leagues finish. Reopening is up in the air.

Might it have something/anything to do with the Developer's Attorney wanting to visit with Lady Lake Commissioners re potential apartment development? That parking lot would be primo for apartment dwellers - no?
