TROY, MI-A plan to build a baseball stadium here to accommodate a minor-league team may not be dead yet, even though the city council turned down the proposal in January. General Sports and Entertainment was rejected in a plan to place the stadium on city-owned land next to the Civic Center complex.

GSE says now, though, that it is still considering building a stadium in order to bring a team to metro Detroit and that Troy remains on the list of possible locations. GSE did not state an exact location in Troy.
