I am amazed that the big selling point is a new stadium for high school football? I'm sure some football families care, but when we already have other facilities for this, why exactly do we need to give up greenspace for a new stadium?

"Other communities have better stadiums!" has to be the least impressive reasoning I've seen for this scale of development. Why not just upgrade the existing JC facility if you truly cared and wanted to waste a bunch of money?

Great point. You know – if Fireman really cared that much about the welfare of our children, he could donate his golf course to build these plans. I don't know why his foundation needs the state's land.

As an alum from the public school system who played football there, Caven Point is significantly better than it used to be. That's a very nice turf, which is way better than the mud it used to be.
