Latest Stadium Info

[brad]

sorry to join the party late, but here goes.

For Murray City to spend so much money trying to promote a pedestrian friendly commercial/high-density residential area is like George Bush spending money promoting more restrictive gun-control laws. Don't abandon your base! Murray is all about box-shaped buildings floating on big, flat, black parking lots, i'd like to think that the stadium wouldn't be that way, but, the proof - as they say - is in the pudding.

Before I make a bigger foool of myself, where exactly is the proposed site in downtown SLC? Since they announced the team was coming here I thought the block between 4th and 5th south and main and west temple would be perfect, is that still an option?

By the way I like to think of the sound the "e" in Real makes as more of a Canuck "eh?" type sound. And remember, the emphasis is on the second syllable. rehAL. Maybe that's why they made the e lower case in the logo. . . ?

Sounds like an interesting proposal, but it doesn't seem very likely that SLC will pull it off, from what the article says.

yea, vew site proposal is the block just south of little america hotel and the block south west of Grand America

Good article.

I think it shows that they are doing everything possible to get the stadium downtown. (of which I have been converted to from the Murray site)

By them saying they could hold 100 or more events there a year is a big selling tool. I think the city is going to pull some strings for them.

After the meeting last night in Murray RSL announces meeting in SLC to guage public opinion on the project.

Stadium meeting

Officials from Real Salt Lake will hold a public meeting at the Salt Lake City-County Building on Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. to gauge public support for a stadium near downtown at 600 South and Main Street.

That is just across the street from work so I will stick around for that one too.
