Redevelopment of Foothills Athletic Park

It's not just a fieldhouse, it's an athletic complex.

My understanding is that $200 million is just for the fieldhouse component for Foothils Athletic park redevolpment:

In 2010, the city announced a 10-year, $450-million redevelopment plan for Foothills Athletic Park, as well as Glenmore Athletic Park at 50th Avenue and 19th Street S.W.

Wednesday’s vote made the fieldhouse plan a top priority.

But Ald. Brian Pincott said he's worried other improvements will now have to wait until funding is secured for the fieldhouse.

"Putting the fieldhouse first means we're going to have to find a great gob of money for that first. You need to find $200 million for a fieldhouse, and we need to find $300 to 400 million for the rest of it," he said.
