SPS would develop eight new lighted rectangular fields – three with all-weather surfacing – at site of the former Joe Albi Stadium to support increased community need for outdoor recreational space, especially during late fall and early spring. Parks would maintain and program the fields, while SPS would be granted priority use for student activities.
Parks would further invest in additional lighting to Merkel Field #6, parking, restrooms, storage, and a concession building.
Doubling the capacity of the Merkel facility and improving site amenities would introduce the potential to attract and host large regional tournaments that create economic vitality and allow residents to participate in these tournaments without out-of-city travel.
Community organizations are also interested in investing in the development, which would bring down project costs for taxpayers.
