Sandpoint voters approved a 1 percent sales tax increase to rebuild Barlow Stadium at War Memorial Field. The measure passed with 75 percent of the vote. Officials hope it will raise $3 million in the next 5 years. The 69-year-old wooden stadium on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille is used for high school football, baseball and soccer as well as the annual Festival at Sandpoint in August. The old bleachers will be torn down and construction on a new stadium and field surface will begin after this football season/Scott Maben, SR.
