I will pay extra to fly out of TF Green rather than the hassel of 1 hr ride to Boston and 1 hr return home assuming there is no traffic jams !!

The very last thing I want to do after a long flight is travel by road for a long period of time. Furthermore, I can easily find a ride to TF Green but it's not so easy to have some one drive me and pick me from Boston.

No one said TF Green's plan was to over come Logan.

Regarding the ball fields which strangely has become some what of the most major planning of the whole operation which still amazes me. Anyways, in any projects there are cost over runs and in some cases bids that come in lower. The bid to take down the hanger on Airport Rd came in a lot cheaper than expected. So any cost over runs with the ball fields well there is your money if you will.

You cannot move the ball fields to and City or State Park. There isn't enough parking at Rocky Point anyways. Further more, who is going to want to walk for miles with equipment.

But you made some valid points. TF Green will supplement Logan but in a much larger role. It's not just about passenger it's about that freight international.

I also think most forget that this has the authority encouragment from some top officials. Whether you respect them or not Gov Chaffee, and even the President has signed off on this project. In fact, it was the President that agreed to the federal funding !!!

So it really doesn't matter what we think. It was approved to expand, the money was obtained, and it was well thought out (over 10 years of planning and red tape).

Look at it as an infrastructure improvement along with added safety.

By 2017 the airport will be fully expanded.
