Norwich ― The Norwich Sea Unicorns will play summer collegiate baseball for the next two summers at the Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium, but it is questionable whether baseball, or even the stadium, will continue beyond 2024. The Norwich City Council voted unanimously Monday to approve a two-year lease extension with the Sea Unicorns' parent owner, Oneonta Athletic Corp. that runs through the 2023 and 2024 seasons, with a possible mutually agreed third season in 2025. But the short period is indicative of the uncertainty of the stadium's future, City Manager John Salomone told the City Council Monday.
