Mary: McEuen Tennis Courts Gone

Not much has happened at OpenCDA.com this week other than some hand wringing re: the future of McEuen Field (which also concerns me, by the way). Now, Mary Souza has taken it a step further in her newsletter by noting that the city has removed the run-down tennis courts at McEuen Field san announcement -- and that a two-story parking garage will replace it. Mary claims an "involved citizen" told her that City Finance Director Troy Tymeson told him (are you following this?) about the parking structure. According to the "involved citizen" and Mary, the plans are already drawn up. Mary goes on to say: "McEuen Field is directly in the cross hairs of LCDC; it’s their #1 priority for this year." Then, she launches into the usual conspiracy theories involving the office of Charlie Nipp being a half block away, etc.

Question: What changes would you like to see to McEuen Field, if any?
