This is not a proposed stadium. Maybe this word is being pushed by the
opposition, and maybe it is just used accidentally, I don't know.
It is a proposal for an outdoor field for playing high school sports and park
sports like soccer, lacrosse, football, softball and baseball.

Nikki Carlson says it's not a stadium, just an outdoor field. Actually, it's
something in between.
According to the proposed plan, it's an astroturf (according to Commissioner
Dziedzic) football/soccer field, elevated 8 to 10 feet above the street (Island

What amazes me is that someone inevitably footed-the-bill for the research
that was done. With such a small sampling, the results become very
suspect. Does discrimmination exist? Without a doubt. However, I don't
think the results (of this study) are indicative of anything, without more
There have been many much broader studies that have
come up with similiar results in recent years. The
