Though I sympathize with Quentin and hope he heals quickly, such is the
plight of the athlete. My sister played for the state champion girls
soccer team in Roseville many moons ago and has had knee surgery and
many of my uncles who played college football are all now the proud
owners of replacement knees. Where you play the game has little or
nothing to do with getting hurt. And as for DeLaSalle needing a field
next to their building I have to say that I am dismayed that they feel
that they need to have a suburban campus in an urban setting. Don't we
all wish that we could have it all regardless of the needs of others.
No one ever seems to mention that St. Agnes and St. Bernard's in Nick
Coleman's home town of St. Paul both play their games at Midway
stadium. Should we all call St. Paul and tell them to use eminent
domain to get land for these schools to build their own stadiums
adjoining the property???
Hopefully the voters of Minneapolis can discern that giving this park
land to DeLaSalle will open up the door for every developer with a plan
to use park land. Crown Hydro has already taken the MPRB to court over
this issue and I imagine that those who covet thy park board's property
all over town will now have their foot in the door. Again I ask...
what programs are you willing to give up in your parks to pay the legal
bills for the MPRB over all these shenanigans???
