Hello,
I'm curious if anyone knows more about the Parade Stadium plans. IIRC before moving to St. Paul last year, the Minnesota Thunder (local pro soccer team) was in discussions with the city about moving there or possibly building their own stadium at that location.
Thanks!

Trying to make a list of current MPRB projects underway or consideration - is this a complete list?
Enterprise plans
- Restaurants at Loring, Cedar, Minnehaha and Harriet - planning consultant approved
- Future restaurant near the Guthrie; land is reserved
- Development at the Ft. Snelling site where the skate park failed - staff authority to negotiate with developers approved by the Board
- Putt putt golf course at Northeast Park - development funds from taxes, approved 2005
- Clubhouse and event center at Lake Calhoun - under current discussion. ECCO was told by a commissioner that this might be a bonded project to be paid by future revenues from retail in the clubhouse
- Parade Stadium and event center - recently raised before City Council
- Athletic complex at Bryn Mawr - failed in 2004 but proposals to develop athletic complexes at Bryn Mawr and Northeast Park have been considered since 1998; have some Board support
- Whitewater park at riverfront
- Development of land in front of headquarters building; possible marina to be bonded - no developer at this time
- acquisition of Ft Snelling Tennis Center in 18 years, donated - a done deal
Capital plans - Expand Bryn Mawr - Continued acquisition of land along upper riverfront - Development of Solomon Park - $11 million redevelopment at Lake of the Isles - funded
I know there was not a 2005 budget (at least one not available to the public). Is one available now? Is there a park board master plan that forms the framework for these activities - would be grateful for the name(s) of the plan document.
Thanks,
