(La Porte, IN) - The city of La Porte could be looking to capitalize even more on the popularity of youth sports.  Dunes Volleyball Club has already made an impact since going up at New Porte Landing.

Talk continues of constructing an indoor stadium here for things like baseball tournaments.  Jack Arnett, executive director of the La Porte County Convention and Visitors Bureau, said he’s been working closely with mayor Tom Dermody on generating interest in such a project.  The focus has been on possibly having a dome stadium erected at New Porte Landing.

Arnett says a deal would have to be made with a private investor to help with what would be an expensive construction project.  According to Arnett, the number of youth sports tournaments in La Porte County has at least tripled versus last year.
