New West Side Stadium in Albuquerque?

KOB TV - It's been a sore subject for people who live on Albuquerque's West Side, and today they had a chance to share their thoughts about plans to build a new APS stadium and park in their neighborhoods. The Development Review Board held a hearing Wednesday morning, and more than 20 people, both for and against the plan, spoke out. APS is set to buy the land to build a new stadium, complete with baseball and soccer fields, and a city park, near I-40 and 98th street. But many people at the hearing were upset, saying it's not what they were promised when they bought their homes. Some said they were told new homes and apartments, or a new shopping center similar to ABQ Uptown was supposed to be built on the vacant land.
"If it's not done right and it's not executed right, our neighborhood will be affected first. But the entire city will be affected- everyone in the city," said West Side resident Tabitha King. King went on to say a shopping center would have provided revenue for the city, and a stadium will only cost money. Still, there was a lot of support for the stadium, and future site of a new APS elementary and high school. Read full story here: News New Mexico
