The School District was accepting bids on the property until Dec 3rd, but has extended the deadline into January. Two bidders, Fred Meyer (the store chain) and the YMCA want to tear the stadium down. They hope the city will submit a competing bid in order to maintain the stadium as a venue for soccer and various other events.
So far, they’ve raised $180,000 in just two weeks. Below are two links to help explain our story. The first is a video on The Archaeology Channel, and the Civic Stadium story is the first segment.
Here is a link to the Friends of Civic Stadium website, which provides directions on how people can download a form to donate to our fundraiser.
We’re also on Facebook at Friends of Civic Stadium.
