The Story Behind "The Cove" - Revisited

This week, we’re revisiting one of the podcast’s early episodes: the story behind Four Winds Field. Better known to many longtime South Bend residents as “The Cove.”Originally released in July 2023, my conversation with former South Bend Mayor Roger Parent explores the vision, challenges, and determination that transformed a neglected site into one of downtown South Bend’s most beloved gathering places. Three years later, the story is just as relevant as ever. With major renovations, a new upper deck, and growth around the stadium, it continues to be a gem in our community!Join us as we look back on the history of the stadium and reflect on the lasting impact of Mayor Parent’s leadership and service to South Bend.A HUGE THANK YOU to Mayor Parent for your time but more importantly thank you for ALL that you have done for our community!__________________________________________________Big thank you to Dan Berry Insurance for supporting the show.
