Not only do we already have a baseball stadium, we lack a stadium for the most widely played and supported sports in el paso. Soccer. You should instead simply improve Cohen stadium And build a multipurpose soccer stadium in downtown. We are not like other city's like Cleveland. Instead of trying to emulate them we need to embrace our own identity. We are truly a soccer city and we should embrace the talent and love for the sport the city has. An MLS club would be the best sporting club for the city. It would draw people to downtown in much greater numbers than a baseball game in el paso. The baseball idea is a waste for tax payer money and doesn't benefit the majority of the youth and tax payers in the city.

This group is a private advisory committee consisting of DMD, PDNG and other community members interested in supporting and advocating for the QoL bond election. (This is similar to the QoL Bond Committee in 2000 that was spearheaded by the Chamber at that time. ) Initially came together to coordinate with city on community outreach and recommendations. The group was working with Rick Horrow as well. City has not formal contract or arrangement other than staff worked collaboratively up to the presentation on April 18 with the prelimary bond recommendations and then again on the final recommendations in May. Staffs involvement has been limited since then because group was evolving into a Political Action Committee to officially advocate for the bond election in November at least we believe that is going to happen or is happening.
Cannot respond to the issues of registered lobbyist. Would need to contact them directly or check.
(Julie, you might want to check with Richarda to see if this group is registered as a lobbyist with City. I dont believe so.)
