My question about this historic-preservation objection to the playing field on
Nicollet Island is what is so darn historic about 3 asphalt tennis courts
surrounded by 10 foot tall chain link fence? And if tennis doesn't disturb your
sense of history, why do football and soccer? Perhaps because tennis is the
sport of the aristocracy and the foot sports are of the peasantry?
You're pulling our legs here, right Nikki? To shoehorn a stadium onto
that land and to take another acre or so of park land and give it to a
private entity is what's at issue. Tennis courts have very little to do
with the issue.
In the rest of Minneapolis, if a homeowner accidentally or deliberately
plants his fence on his neighbor's lot and the neighbor doesn't complain
within a set number of years (10 I think), the land the fence is on
devolves to the homeowner. If the MPRB allows this usage, does the land
revert to DLS after ten years?
