Please refrain from categorizing the opponents of the proposed sports facility on NIcollet Island as being "anti-De LaSalle". There are plenty of reasons to oppose this field and the process that has been used by its proponents to get it to this point without harboring any negative feelings toward the school itself.

As I recall, if you swim across the river towards the east (roughly) you are in NE Mpls. If you swim across in roughly a westerly direction, you're in N and S Mpls. With it's 'central' location, the Island seems a perfect site for a soccer field. Actually, it would be just as easy and, in many cases, easier for Northside kids to get to a field on the Island via public transportation or bike path, than to most possible sites in North Mpls.
