Why not let De La Salle, lease it and have total priority(at a price), but then also rent out the facility for adult rec leagues or other sport functions?
Currently, for example, adult recreational soccer and football leagues pay big money to rent out facilities at the U, Woodbury, Augsburg, Holy Angels and elsewhere and others amost any night of the week.
That kind of facility would seem to be great for the city.
The MPRB has facilities to rent out and they are the multitude of fields at the Neiman Sports Complex which Scott Neiman and I have hashed out in the past on the list. They can be altered for football and were temporarily last year. If big money could be made why is this facility in the red??? And from what I have noticed at the fields on Marshall and St. Anthony PKWY everyone drives to the games. The MPRB has two agreements in place for the Pavilion and the Inn and though they have lots and so does DeLaSalle, GM for Admin Don Sigglekow has already admitted to event parking problems. Now that you mention Augsburg, isn't that just a stone's throw from DeLaSalle???
